The PGA Tour reportedly warned players they could face a life ban if they signed up to the lucrative breakaway tour.
WASHINGTON -- Rory McIlroy dismissed revived talk of a golf Super League as a "money grab" on Wednesday as the PGA Tour reportedly warned players they could face a life ban if they signed up to the lucrative breakaway tour.
"People can see it for what it is, which is a money grab, which is fine if that's what you're playing golf for is to make as much money as possible. Totally fine, then go and do that if that's what makes you happy. McIlroy said he would have no problem with extreme punishment for defectors from the established golf tours.
"I don't have much interest," Thomas said. "I love it out here on the PGA Tour and we're very fortunate to get to go to some unbelievable places and play for a lot of money. I'm very content and very happy with everything how it's going here. "Most of these guys, they're financially set. They want to break records. They want to win. I don't think throwing X amount of money at guys is as appealing now as it maybe once was."
