In an interview with the Palm Beach Post, former world No. 1 Australian Jason Day said he has no plans to join LIV Golf at this time. In a year, however, his position could change… It has the merit of being clear. Jason Day hinted in an interview with the Palm Beach Post that he might join LIV Golf.
But not for a year. At least.
Jason Day, statements
“It’s no, I would not go now, underlined without hesitation the former world No. 1. But who knows what will be in a year. I might have a different opinion…” I don’t blame some guys for going there because they make a lot of money.
I understand.
“I don’t blame some guys for going there because they make a lot of money,” he adds. I understand. For me, the most important thing at the moment is the position of the Majors. I know everything is on hold right now.
We don’t know if they (players who have joined LIV Golf) will play or not, if they will be able to benefit or not from points in the world rankings…” The 2015 PGA Championship winner also referred to the case of his compatriot Cameron Smith, who left just after his victory at The Open last July on the dissident Tour supported with millions of dollars by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of ‘Saudi Arabia.
“He will stay no matter what my friend, warns the Australian. We didn’t talk about that together… All those guys over there (the LIV players) are my friends. I don’t mind them leaving. But I really wish these Tours (the PGA Tour and LIV Golf) could find some common ground.
That would be great. For me, this split is regrettable” Now 35, Jason Day, plagued for almost two years by repeated back injuries, no longer appears in the world top 100 (113th). His last victory on the PGA Tour dates back to May 6, 2018 at the Wells Fargo Championship, a little more than three after his success in the play-off at the Farmers Insurance Open against Sweden’s Alex Noren.
