PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan "reiterated that any player who joins" a proposed Saudi Arabian-backed Super Golf League will face "immediate suspension and likely permanent expulsion from the Tour," according to sources. Following a report that the upstart league had offered $30M contracts to "some of the Tour’s top players -- including world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson -- there was a "player-only meeting with the commissioner" at Charlotte's Quail Hollow Club. There, Monahan "acknowledged the new league poses a competitive threat and that the Tour was aware that officials from the proposed circuit have been recruiting many of the game’s top players." He "echoed his promise to protect the Tour and its players and sponsors" (GOLFCHANNEL.com, 5/4).
