When Brian Rolap joined the PGA Tour, players and fans alike expected a new era, one focused on growing the game rather than chasing profit. But according to veteran golfer Lucas Glover, that vision hasn’t materialized. During a recent appearance on the Monday Q info podcast, Glover opened up about his frustration with the tour’s current direction. The 2009 US Open champion revealed that despite meeting with Rolap in Hartford, he has since avoided returning the CEO’s calls. Even repeated outreach from the player relations team, Glover admitted, has gone unanswered. The reason a growing disillusionment with what he sees as a money first mindset when the new schedule came out, they added another signature event and took away a full field event. That’s when I realized it wasn’t changing, it was going to get worse,” Glover said. The newly introduced Miami Championship featuring a $20 million purse and a limited 70player field has become a lightning rod for criticism. Many players argue it caters to marquee names while squeezing out opportunities for others. A far cry from the tour’s traditional inclusivity. All I’m hearing is money, money, money, Glover continued. When’s the last time anybody talked about the tour’s charity initiatives? Nobody talks about that anymore. For Glover, who has spent over two decades on tour, this marks a painful shift. It just doesn’t feel how it was. He lamented. It seems dirty. Honestly, Glover has long been vocal about his dislike for signature events, calling them overly exclusive. “I didn’t like them when the idea was first introduced, and I still don’t,” he said at the truest championship. “We’re cutting too many cards and not giving enough players a chance.” The veteran also blasted proposed 2026 changes that further reduce field sizes, questioning the tour’s justification that it improves pace of play. “They think we’re stupid,” he said bluntly. Don’t tell us it’s a pace of play issue. Just admit you’re trying to appease a handful of guys so they don’t leave. Instead, Glover offered a simple fix. Enforce the current pace of play rules with real penalties. If you get a bad time, that’s a shot penalty. Guess who’s running to their ball then, he said. That’s how you solve it. Glover isn’t alone in his criticism. Fellow pros James Horn and Robert Garagus have also taken aim at the tour’s recent decisions. Tarn questioned the logic behind adding another high-profile event without a sponsor, an extra signature event without a title sponsor at a course owned by the president. This is a joke, right? Han said. They keep making mistakes. It’s no surprise they’re still figuring out the FedEx Cup. Garagus echoed similar frustrations, calling out favoritism in sponsor exemptions. So, does that mean one more sponsor invite for Jordan Speath? He quipped. tells Spith I’ll play him for any amount he wants. If I win, I get his five invites to the signature events. As discontent grows among tour veterans, Glover’s pointed refusal to engage with leadership stands as a symbolic protest. Whether his concerns prompt a course correction or fall on deaf ears could determine the future identity of the PGA tour.
