PGA Visit Strategy Board part Peter Malnati held nothing back when it came to his viewpoints in team golf.
PGA Visit Strategy Board part Peter Malnati had a fabulous round of golf Saturday at The Players Title, checking a 6-under 66. That vaulted him to 7-under generally, 30 spots up the competitor list.
Nonetheless, all the discussion encompassing Malnati probably won’t come from his play.
Following his round, he tended to the continuous talks between the Saudi-financed LIV Golf and the PGA Visit. There were various points that Malnati nitty gritty, however one thing that was made sure was his abhorrence for LIV’s team golf angle.
“I don’t know LIV, what they’re doing, yet it appears to be a constrained team model to me,” he said. “Are there any fans that care which team won the competition? I don’t have the foggiest idea what devotees of LIV need or care about, however are there any fans that consideration about who won it?”
He then, at that point, communicated his absence of information as far as what the Saudi Public Speculation Asset desires to achieve with team golf.
“I feel like we could likewise make some created team golf something, some place beyond the FedExCup season, yet, similar to, what does he [Yasir Al-Rumayyan] need is an inquiry that I need to understand better,” he said.
“I don’t believe it’s some created, counterfeit, include random folks’ scores and call them a team. I don’t believe that is all there is to it,” Malnati said. “I think what he implies is more stuff like the Ryder Cup, I would figure, yet I know next to nothing since I haven’t conversed with him.”
The 36-year-old conceded he isn’t against the idea of team golf.
“Clearly, the best team event in golf right currently is the Ryder Cup, and it’s unimaginable,” Malnati said. However, he battles to perceive how it could fit inside the PGA Visit.
“I don’t see a way that we integrate team golf into the FedExCup plan,” he said. “I for one don’t need that, yet I can have my brain changed assuming I see an extraordinary thought. I don’t see a way that we coordinate team golf inside the FedExCup plan. We will have an opportunity to play with in the fall — we will have a few choices, yet I don’t have the foggiest idea.”
The PGA Visit as of now has a rushed event plan. Adding another part, similar to team golf, would make it considerably more insane.
While examining this point, Malnati even addressed Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL. That is a team-golf reenactment association that was deferred because of foundation disappointment.
“It sounds energizing, however I had no clue about that is what TGL is. So that’s it. There’s some team golf. We’ll whack it inside a vault or anything that they’re doing.”
The previous Missouri Tiger didn’t keep down on Saturday evening. His candor is something most fans can appreciate.
