Lucas Glover on LIV golfers returning to the PGA Tour: ‘I don’t think they should be back’
Ask anyone interested in the PGA Tour and/or LIV Golf and that person is likely to have an opinion. That goes for Tour veteran Lucas Glover, who hosts a SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show in his free time.
On Tuesday night, the discussion ventured into those rival-league waters, specifically, the lingering stalemate in negotiations that might unify the two circuits.
Glover was quite direct with his stance.
I don’t want to play with them, me personally. I don’t think they should be back here. I don’t want them here. They made their decision. I don’t blame any of them. They made a decision, I don’t care, but they also went away from this tour and chose to. As a PGA Tour player and somebody that dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour, and have poured my heart and soul into this Tour and game for 21 seasons now, I don’t want somebody that chose another path and a path of least, or, less resistance. I don’t want them back here competing and taking part of my pie and these kids’ pie that are trying to make it now.
He went on to say that if the top five or six LIV golfers were still playing on the PGA Tour, “it would help all of us, especially when it comes to getting a great TV deal in 2030.” But he also questioned whether it really makes sense for current Tour members—who now have a financial stake in the Tour—to grow the game by welcoming some of those players back, admitting, “I’m struggling with that.”
Glover hosts an hour-long show called The Lucas Glover Show on SiriusXM Radio during the PGA Tour season.
