Justin Thomas is tired of fellow PGA Tour players wavering on their decisions about whether they will participate in the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV events.
Mark Schlabach of ESPN reported the PGA Tour sent a memo to its players Tuesday denying releases for anyone looking to compete in the LIV Golf Invitational Series from June 9 to 11 because it conflicts with the RBC Canadian Open. Those who participate in it anyway without a release will face possible suspensions or bans from the PGA Tour.
Thomas said he hopes the potential punishments would stop players from going to the competing tour but also suggested anyone who wants to should just make up their mind:
“It’s like, ‘Look, if you want to go, go. There’s been plenty of guys that have been advocates of it and have just talked it up all the time, and there have been guys behind the scenes that are saying, ‘I’m going, I’m doing this.’ And like my whole thing is, like, just go then.
“Like, stop going back and forth or like you say you’re going to do this. Everybody’s entitled to do what they want, you know what I mean? Like if I wanted to go play that tour I could go play that tour. But I’m loyal to the PGA Tour and I’ve said that.”
