The situation between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour still seems tense, and the fact that both sides are still not close to a final agreement regarding the merger deepens the concern of golf fans.

The former member of LIV Golf, Eugenio Chacarra, in an interview with the media, deepened the intolerance between the two leagues even more, after his statements about LIV.
The 22-year-old golfer is disappointed with the treatment on the controversial Tour, noting that he wants to become part of the PGA Tour. The young golfer is most frustrated because the leaders of the Saudi-backed Tour promised him the OWGR, but that did not happen.
When I joined LIV they promised OWGR and majors, - he said.
But it didnt happen. I trusted them. I was the first young guy, then the others came after I made the decision. But OWGR and majors still hasnt happened. I saw you last year when they pulled the bid. Its frustrating, but Im excited for the new opportunity and to see where my game takes me."

Although his colleagues did not want to make statements, it is clear that the majority of golfers from this Tour are frustrated considering that several years have passed and they still have not been awarded with OWGR points. PGA Tour players, on the other hand, have the right to perform at the Majors, which certainly arouses the additional interest of young golfers.
I see what its like to win on the PGA Tour and how your life changes. How you get major access and ranking points. On LIV, nothing changes, there is only money. It doesnt matter if you finish thirtieth or first, only money. Im not a guy who wants more money. What will change my life is playing in Hawaii and qualifying for the majors, qualifying for the Masters, the Ryder Cup.-he concluded.

It remains to be seen whether others plan to raise their voices publicly.
