PGA Tour players don’t yet know exactly how to feel about the merger between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf. That makes sense since no one knows exactly what that partnership entails at this point. Dylan Wu wondered if PGA Tour players need to “apologize” for playing on the Tour.
In short: no, they do not.
Wu appeared on ESPN’s Outside the Lines with Jeremy Schaap.
“There are questions in the [player’s] meeting like ‘do we have to apologize for playing on the PGA Tour now because of where the money is coming from?’” Wu said.

With the Yankees and Red Sox set to square off this weekend for the first time in 2023, all eyes will turn to the most prominent rivalry in baseball. But it appears that at least some of the participants in the upcoming series hold the view that the feud between the two sides has lost some of its edge in recent years.
The beef between the two franchises dates back over a century, with countless iconic moments of mutual loathing over the years. They’ve even faced off in the playoffs twice over the past five seasons, with Boston winning both times in 2018 and ’21.
