WATCH: Pro says PGA Tour boss was called THIS by players during meeting!
A PGA Tour pro revealed what was said in a meeting following the bombshell merger news Tuesday.
It's been a chaotic past 24 hours on the PGA Tour.
On Tuesday, the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and the PIF (which funds LIV Golf) announced the bombshell news of a merger after a year of multiple legal battles between the Tours and their new rival.
The news shocked the sports world after a year of lawsuits and the PGA Tour being adamant that they were anti-LIV Golf and what it stood for.
As further details of this merger trickled through, it was discovered that players had found out about the news like the rest of the world: online through things like Twitter.
I love finding out morning news on Twitter
