Oh he is/was pissed off, as were the majority of PGA guys.

However, they are also resigned to the fact there is little they can do about it now.

Had Monahan at least kept guys in the loop that talks were even underway and players input would be considered, that feeling would be greatly subsided. There is still tremendous bitterness against the defectors as well.

"I still hate LIV," McIlroy said. "Like, I hate LIV. I hope it goes away, and I would fully expect that it does. I think that's where the distinction here is. This is the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the PIF -- very different from LIV."

"There still has to be consequences to actions," McIlroy said. "The people that left the PGA Tour irreparably harmed this tour, started litigation against it. Like, we can't just welcome them back in. That's not going to happen."
Again though, not much players can truly do without becoming another version of LIV and playing on their own elsewhere.
