Patrick Cantlay is just one of the golfers who received offers from LIV Golf to join them. He never had a dilemma: I want to stay on the PGA Tour! Realizing the prestige and tradition of this Tour, Cantlay realized that the best decision was to remain part of the PGA Tour. However, looking at the whole picture, Patrick understands the individuals who decided to join LIV Golf.
“It’s a personal calculation based on your values, your priorities, etc...So I don’t think it’s a surprise that there’s a certain type of player that’s tended to go over there, on the whole.
For me? I have no plans on joining LIV. I don’t plan on joining LIV. I see myself playing on the PGA Tour.”- Patrick Cantlay said, as quoted by golf.com!
Patrick Cantaly on the PGA Tour
Patrick Cantlay really cares about the PGA Tour, as he mentioned in his interview with Golf.com. He talked about how he always wanted to play and win in PGA Tour events since he was young, and he's been lucky to achieve that dream. The PGA Tour offered a lot to all golfers, but some individuals still had no respect for the PGA Tour and decided to go in a different direction.
When he became part of the board, Cantlay saw it as a big responsibility. He felt a serious duty to take it seriously and put in a lot of effort and dedication into his role. Being a part of the PGA Tour is a responsibility, but also an honor. Playing with the biggest names is what every golfer would want.
Patrick Cantlay mentioned saying "no" to offers related to LIV Golf. He explained that he turned down these offers both before and after joining the board. In a meeting, he declined the most recent offer right after his management team presented it to him.
Cantlay does not want to think about such offers, considering that the PGA Tour is his dream. He is an example of a golfer who really doesn't think about money as the main motive. Cantlay will enter 2024 with even greater ambitions than before and is ready to achieve great success on this Tour.
