Is Adam Scott angry with PGA Tour's deal with LIV Golf backers? Let him explain
Adam Scott has revealed his thoughts on the PGA Tour's agreement with LIV Golf's Saudi backers after another players' meeting.
Adam Scott says he believes tension amongst the PGA Tour members have cooled somewhat over the proposed deal with the Saudi Arabian backers of LIV Golf.
Scott was in attendance at the fiery players' meeting a few weeks ago at the Canadian Open in which PGA Tour chief Jay Monahan faced a number of grumpy players.
Rory McIlroy was allegedly told to 'F off' during the meeting and some stars are said to have called for Monahan to resign after agreeing a deal in secret with the mastermind behind LIV Golf.

A new, for-profit company aligning the commercial interests of the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and the Saudi wealth fund, PIF, will be formed.
Monahan will serve as the company's chief executive and prominent Saudi businessman Yasir Al-Rumayyan will be the board's chairman.
One of the biggest LIV Golf critics, Davis Love III, has called for patience over the agreement which is now under the scrutiny of US lawmakers.
Scott told the media of the players' meeting before the Travelers Championship:
Scott said he was never angry but players are still digesting over what transpired given 'there was no indications that this was even close to happening'.
The Aussie continued:
Scott said last week at the US Open felt like a welcome break from the distraction.
"It was just sooner than maybe anybody thought," Scott said. "That's all. I think, yeah, things are calmed down and things were more calm in the meeting yesterday."
