PGA Tour players react to Jay Monahan’s memo, framework agreement

“I was on a PAC call about an hour and a half of my pro-am. Had to apologize to my pro-am partners because I had my earbuds in, Air Pods in listening to Jay. I think we were all very appreciative of him being open and honest about everything that’s transpired, his illness, his timing, the way it was all brought out.

“There was some apologies, there was some tough questions, but there were a lot of answers and I think we all appreciated that. It’s not a closed book, but I think a lot of us were able to put a few things behind us. It’s been heavy on us, to be honest. It’s been wearing for a lot of us who have been around, who have been on the PAC and been on the board, just because we care so much.

“Hopefully we kind of have direction going forward and we can come to a good agreement for the future of golf, most importantly, the fans and our sponsors and the future generations.”

More from Streelman: “We take our roles as PAC and advisors and board members, we do them for free, we do them because we love the Tour and we love the game. When things go on behind our backs, it just kind of hurts our feelings a little bit, hurts probably our egos a little bit because we care so much.

“So that was my biggest problem with all this that went on is we just didn’t feel we were part of the team, we didn’t feel we were listened to, we didn’t feel something that drastically affects us, our families and our sponsors and legacies and our future, and just we care. So the fact is it’s a reality and hopefully it comes to a great settlement and that it’s great for the game of golf and it’s great for the future and it’s great for kids and it’s great for our sponsors.

“It’s all we can hope for. I was encouraged with the meeting. I texted Jay and told him the same thing. I think we got a lot of our animosities and our words out last night, and he had the right answers and I think we can all move on and try and make something good work.”
