Golf legend Jack Nicklaus is whistling a different tune after the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger on Tuesday.
Nicklaus, who previously said the LIV Golf league “wasn’t for me,” said Tuesday he believes the controversial merger is good for the sport.
“The last three years have been difficult for the game and the players,” Nicklaus said, according to The Palm Beach Post, adding that he spoke with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan on Tuesday morning.
“He seemed pleased with the arrangement that will once again bring together the best players in the world. I agree that this is good for the game of golf.”
Nicklaus went on to explain that his full support lies in what is best for the game.
“I also appreciate the commissioner’s comments about continuing the tradition of the Tour and the mission to support important charitable causes,” the 83-year-old continued. “I am certainly interested in seeing the details.
“Jay indicated that this all will happen in 2024, so very soon the proof will be in the pudding. Whatever is best for the game of golf enjoys my full support.
