McGinley: PGA chief faces a big problem

Players reacted with shock and a sense of betrayal at the proposed merger of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour's commercial operations with those of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which bankrolls LIV Golf.

Rory McIlroy, whose previously close friendship with Sergio Garcia broke down after the Spaniard joined LIV, admitted he felt like "a sacrificial lamb" after being the most prominent supporter of the PGA Tour, only to see it join forces with an entity he "still hates." 

Monahan faced calls to resign at a heated players' meeting on Tuesday and McGinley believes he faces a huge task to win over the players who, in some cases, turned down massive payouts to remain loyal to the PGA Tour.

"He's obviously in a very tricky position," former Ryder Cup captain McGinley said.
