Collin Morikawa is so withered by the LIV Golf emails he's stopped reading them
Collin Morikawa says he misses LIV Golf players ahead of his first start on the PGA Tour in 2024 and has urged a swift resolution to the game's problems.
Collin Morikawa has revealed his desperation for the PGA Tour to make a deal with LIV Golf's backers.
Morikawa said before teeing it up at The Sentry he's so fed up of receiving email updates from the PGA Tour's management over the agreement with the PIF that he's stopped reading them.
"It's all fluff," Morikawa told reporters in Kapalua before the new season begins.
Morikawa continued: "I hope everything comes together and we're able to all play together at some point in some time in some way, but there's so much back and forth, the emails we get, it's all fluff.
"Like, there's no point in reading these emails anymore that we get. Players are saying one thing and then they say something else some other time.
"At this point, I think just deals need to be made and we all need to get back to playing golf.
"It is what it is. Guys make their decision to go one way, I've never had an issue with it, I've never had an issue with anything."
He added: "Everyone makes their own decision. But I do miss playing with everyone at one time. That's why the majors have been fun over the past year, two years.
"Not that they're not fun, but it’s nice to see some of these guys, right, because it's, that was normal when I turned pro.
"I never thought it was going to be anything different.
"Not that it takes away from these fields, not that it takes away from the PGA Tour, but there's great players in other parts of the world, and I think we miss that."
Morikawa's comments come as Phil Mickelson extended an olive branch to Rory McIlroy after the Northern Irishman made a decisive U-turn with his stance on the Saudi-backed breakaway.
McIlroy conceded he would consider being part of LIV should the rival league turn into the 'IPL of golf' whereby only two months of the calendar year are dedicated to team sport.
"If they were to do something like that, I think that sounds like fun," McIlroy said. "You're at least working within the ecosystem."
It is not just Morikawa who has expressed a desire for the uncertainty facing men's professional golf to be over.
Xander Schauffele has revealed this year he'll be burying his head in the sand to try and get away from all the distractions.
