Glover is very vocal with his opinions on how the PGA Tour can improve and he offered his take on Mroyy’s current situation. Lucas Glover is very clued up on the goings on at the PGA Tour and he has lifted the lid on how Rory Mroyy’s decision to skip the FedEx St. Jude Championship has been viewed behind the scenes. Mroy pulled out of the FedEx St. Jude Championship field with rest and recuperation at the top of his agenda ahead of the final two FedEx Cup playoff events. The Northern Irishman has received plenty of criticism for that decision, perhaps somewhat unfairly. It has been suggested that the PGA Tour are not happy with Mroy after he skipped the tournament in Memphis. And now Glover has provided new information on the situation. During an appearance on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio, Glover has been speaking about Mroyy’s absence in Memphis this week. And the man from Greenville, South Carolina, offered his take on Mroyy’s decision to skip the event at TPC Southwind. Glover said he can do whatever he wants and nobody can really say anything. Is it unfortunate for the tour? Yes. Is it unfortunate for the tournament? Yes. Is it unfortunate for the sponsors? Yes. But Rory has got to do what’s best for Rory. Aory has played a lot of golf and he’s going to play a lot of golf after this. I understand that. Do I wish he was here? Sure. I know the tournament does, the sponsors do, the TV does, but with the current setup, they can’t say anything because it’s his choice and it should be because we are technically independent contractors. I do think that now the precedent is set, there is perhaps reason to address this going forward. That being said, I don’t blame him. There is nothing anybody can do. He’s doing what’s best for him right now this year, and that’s fine. He has played a ton, and he’s going to play a ton later and doesn’t want to be here. So, that’s that.
