PGA Tour Pro wants to be compensated for loyalty to PGA Tour

After shooting 5-under 67 in his opening round at this week’s RBC Canadian Open to grab a share of the round one lead, Chesson Hadley made some interesting comments to the media.

The 297th ranked player in the world was asked about the PGA Tour merging with the Saudi Arabian PIF, and concluded he may be owed something for “staying loyal” to the PGA Tour.




“Is it true that Jay said he’s going to reward those who stayed loyal to the Tour? Did he say that?”

The interviewer said they weren’t sure of the details of Monahan’s statement, but Hadley continued.

“I think he said that about Rory and Tiger, didn’t he? Anyway. I would like to be rewarded for some loyalty. I mean, I felt those guys didn’t do the wrong thing, who went to LIV. They made a business decision. I don’t hold that against anybody. But I would like to be rewarded for my decision to stay loyal.”

There is no indication that Hadley ever received an offer from LIV.

The 35-year-old added that he’s been in the dark just like the rest of us when it comes to the PGA Tour’s plan going forward.




“The older I get the more I would like to be involved out here. But this is my 10th year and I kind of know how things go,” Hadley explained. “I guess most of the time when they’re making changes they have a little bit more detail. Obviously we just have a very, very broad and general framework.

“So, there’s some long-term things that I would like to see and some short-term things, obviously, we just don’t know anything short-term. So, hopefully, they can get a move on it and they can start giving us some answers to a lot of the questions that we have. Because I, I mean, I know nothing. I know as much as you know.”

He will tee it up on Friday at Oakdale Golf and Country Club for round two of the RBC Canadian Open.

    Tell the golfer he has to earn it, if he was that good he wouldn’t be ranked at 297 if he thought he was worth the money he should have went to the LIV
