Kevin Streelman on PGA Tour, LIV players moving back and more

KS: I don’t know. Choices had been made, issues had been signed a 12 months in the past and we’re simply attempting to make clear some issues. I’m 45, I care deeply concerning the Tour however I didn’t get elected as the following PAC chairman so it’s like I’ve gotta simply attempt to preserve my job. It’s a type of constructions the place the Tour is meant to have our backs and also you’re speculated to belief them and so they form of did some issues the place they misplaced a few of that and now what extra can we do besides present up and play the following week. A match begins and we’re attempting to win. We’re like rabbits in that sense. This different stuff is fairly far down the record. It’s been disheartening to a level. 

The way in which the Tour has pivoted to appease the very best expertise ranges — and I perceive that they must be taken care of – however what makes the PGA Tour particular is the accessibility for younger superstars to have entry to see how good they will do. We all know how good the highest gamers are. We wish to see how good the following technology of superstars are once they get an opportunity to play the very best of the very best. So, seeing a onesome on a Thursday and Friday at a signature occasion is comical. Convey within the subsequent ranked participant within the FedEx standings. There’s some issues that must get ironed out now however a part of us are like, yeah, if it’s at the price of our careers, we’re going to attempt to determine it out. 

I don’t know the place it falls. I sincerely hope our followers, our tournaments, our sponsors, our volunteers know that we actually care about them. It’s what makes our sport nice, it’s what makes our sport completely different. There are not any ensures of a job. You possibly can have that magical week and it modifications your life perpetually. You possibly can miss 10 cuts in a row and have that magical week; there’s one thing stunning about that. In baseball, your crew will be out of it by June and it’s so miserable.
