The PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger has ignited a mixed bag of reactions.
Jack Nicklaus, however, told The Palm Beach Post Tuesday that he views the shocking news as a positive for the sport.
"The last three years have been difficult for the game and the players," said the 83-year-old, 18-time major champion. "I spoke with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan this 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.
"I also appreciate the commissioner’s comments about continuing the tradition of the Tour and the mission to support important charitable causes.
