Jack Nicklaus gives his hot take on the PGA Tour-LIV Golf negotiations

Posted on June 26, 2024

The potential merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf has been a hot topic in the golf world, drawing reactions from many prominent figures in the sport. One of the most notable voices weighing in on the matter is golf legend Jack Nicklaus. During a podcast on Nick Faldo’s YouTube channel last year, Nicklaus shared his candid thoughts on the negotiations between the two tours.

Nicklaus, an 84-year-old veteran of the sport, was forthright in his assessment, characterizing the negotiations as an attempt by money to “buy the game.” He suggested that the efforts were more about purchasing respectability than genuinely contributing to the sport. Reflecting on the situation, Nicklaus remarked:

“It’s money trying to buy the game. It’s trying to buy respectability. And I don’t think that that is really what it’s all about. I think that somebody from Europe basically said that they think they’re trying to buy the ability to sit on the Veranda at Augusta National and have simple mint julep with membership and be accepted. And that’s what they’re trying to do. It’s getting acceptability within the mainframe of the game of golf.” (9:20-9:53)

The ongoing discussions between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continue to generate interest, with many in the golf community keeping a close eye on how the situation unfolds.
