Lanto Griffin, winner on the PGA Tour and Player Advisory Council member, wants to get the focus back on golf instead of money.
Is golf at the end of January 2024 better than it was at the end of January 2023 what’s your Take Ah that’s tough I don’t think it was that good in the end of 2023 so um I’m I’m optimistic about the future getting golf back to where it’s
Decided on the course is is my number one goal um everybody’s on a Level Playing Field if I were to play better than you or you play better than me were you know we we get rewarded for that so I’m going to uh I’m going to say it’s
About the same um same or Worse honestly do you have hope for the future of the game I think there’s a lot of greed um going on in the game of golf right now which is frustrating uh we’re in a bubble and um that’s tough to see
Because the PJ tour is so special um the communities that we play in and the and the Charities and the competition there’s no better feeling than than playing well on the PJ tour and making the cut and being in contention having a chance to win that that hasn’t change
And that will never change so what golf what golf can do to you and it can bring people together that’s still there I just think we need to figure out behind the scenes how for everybody to get along and and for greed to kind of get
Out of it and and get back to focusing on Golf and honestly not having conversations like why does a signature event have you know two to three times of points of a of a full field event get back to where you’re just out there playing and
If uh if you can play 15 to 20 events a year and and make TOUR Championship and win then you have every right to do that but give the entire membership an opportunity
