How the hell does Monahan still have a job

They seem to be staggering the exits piece-by-piece. Instead of letting everyone go responsible for that debacle at once, they are letting them exit over time on their own terms. It wouldn't surprise me to see Monihan "retire" sometime in the next 12 months.

They tried to force-feed an agreement onto both sides. It was clear from the get-go that neither group of players from either side had a say in this, nor had any desire to merge. Dumb move by the powers that be.

There is no way to negotiate a merger while the LIV players are under multi-year contracts where they got signing bonuses. Those contracts must be allowed to play out their lifespan. So, since there nothing that can be done for the next 3 years anyway, let the sides take their time and find a solution everyone likes, not one forced on them.

Eventually, the LIV guys will realize that their business model isn't working stand alone, and the PGA Tour guys will get over themselves and realize that the LIV players and a lot about their tour is good for golf, and this will end.
