From Mackenzie Hughes.

Men’s professional golf is in a sad place. The direction it's headed right now isn't healthy or good for the sport.

And I know many of you are upset with the recent developments - I would be too.

I had some thoughts I wanted to share

When I was younger, I dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour. I wanted to play against the best. When I got there, I couldn't believe how amazing it was.

We've had some issues in the past couple of years, but it's still an incredible place to 'work.'

Unfortunately, money has changed things. Charity used to be a huge priority on tour, but it's taken a backseat. LIV has overvalued the worth of golfers so much that it has ruined our perspective, and pushed purses to unsustainable levels. The marketplace seems broken.

Fans want to see the best compete against each other.

Instead, we are watching the top players split into separate camps. It is frustrating to watch.

I'm also a huge sports fan and would hate for my favorite players to get plucked away one by one.

We need to find a way to resonate with all of you and lead the PGA Tour back to higher ground.

Hopefully, our leadership can make that happen.

The uncertainty has been really difficult for us but I remain hopeful.
