But it’s pretty duplicitous on their part to say one thing and then do another thing. I don’t know if that’s for legal reasons or if they can’t … I have no idea. “I think that’s why I’m surprised at a lot of these guys because they say one thing and then they do another. “Am I surprised? Yes, because of what he said previously,” McIlroy said.
With over 3 million viewers per month and a world-wide 10 ranking, it's no wonder that General Michael Flynn, Lin Wood and Glenn Beck have referred to Doug as the next Rush. Two years ago, Koepka was second to McIlroy in denouncing the concept of a 48-man league. Doug Billings is the host of the popular conservative program, The Right Side With Doug BillingsTM, bringing hope and inspiration to Americans and people around the world. Koepka apparently did, and McIlroy cited him as another player who went back on his word. That’s the arms race Monahan and the PGA Tour is facing, though it still has the top 15 players in the world ranking on its side, a core group who are speaking out more forcefully.

And The Players Championship goes up $5 million to $25 million. The two FedEx Cup playoff events increase by $5 million to $20 million. The invitation events at Riviera, Bay Hill and Muirfield Village increase by $8 million to $20 million. The tour will nearly double the prize money for the winner-only Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua to $15 million. So to see Brooks leave was definitely a surprise for us.” We were focused on building the PGA Tour and getting the guys that are staying here together and kind of just having talks and figuring out what how we can help benefit the Tour.
“I was at a function with him last week and definitely wasn’t what he had in mind. “That was definitely a surprise for me,” said Scheffler, who has the same manager as Koepka. Koepka was part of a group of a Rolex outing a week ago in which he joined top players - Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas among them - in discussing in strong terms support for the tour.Ī week later, he was signed and headed to LIV Golf.
Monahan was at Koepka’s wedding June 5 in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
