Xander Schauffele drops huge hint over PGA Tour future amid LIV Golf talks

Xander Schauffele has previously commented on the offer he received from LIV Golf, but the American star appears to be sticking with the PGA Tour for now.
The Olympic gold medalist has decided to compete in his 2024 PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am next month.
Schauffele’s name is one that has been associated with the breakaway group since its inception last summer.
Since last June, many of the PGA Tour’s biggest names have decided to move to Saudi Arabia, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
As for Schauffele, however, the 30-year-old American star appears to be choosing to remain on the PGA Tour for now as he begins the 2024 season in one of the circuit’s most historic events.
is.
His seven-time winner on the PGA Tour received an offer from LIV’s setup, but he was one of several stars who chose to decline.
And even though it’s a hefty sum for an American, he has no regrets about turning 4,444 years old.
Schauffele told Today’s Golfer last month: “I haven’t really thought about it (LIV Golf’s offer).
I’m sitting here thinking, oh my gosh.
I’m not looking to get more or get anything more.
I’m pretty happy with where I’m at and what I’ve done so far.
” Although Schauffele has pledged allegiance to the PGA Tour, he is one of several players who have expressed dissatisfaction with the tour’s leadership since the tour decided to merge with the tour.
A proposed agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) would see the tour work in lockstep with its LIV rivals after a year-long feud with the breakaway league.
In the months that followed, there were calls for Commissioner Jay Monaghan to be replaced after the “betrayal” over the tour’s U-turn in Saudi Arabia.
“I don’t mind seeing new leadership emerge in our district,” Schauffele added.
“I’d be lying if I said I felt more confident after what happened.
” This is definitely the consensus I get when I talk to a lot of people.
It’s a bit contradictory for them to call it “our tour” and things can happen without us knowing.
“It’s tough.
I’m sure there’s a reason for what happened, but at the same time, this allows us to do some things in the dark and make sure we have our best interests at heart in our next endeavors.
After Pebble Beach, the 30-year-old will join many other big names who should be in a position to really trust the leader.
In addition to Schauffele, all six European Ryder Cup stars will signal the start: Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Rose .
The 30-year-old will also be supported on the field by two of his U.S.
teammates, including Jordan Spieth and Windham Clark.
