Quote of the Day

The rollout was very misleading and inaccurate, which is everyone’s fault. There is no merger; there is no deal. There is simply an agreement to try to get to an agreement.
-- PGA Tour Policy Board member Jimmy Dunne, speaking before a U.S. Senate subcommittee on the proposed working relationship between the Tour and the Saudi Arabian PIF.
