Collin Morikawa Shuts Down Rumors Of Leaving PGA

Collin Morikawa isn’t leaving the PGA. At least not yet.

Despite the interest that has been building from some of the top players in the world to join a super league (which would be built to rival the PGA), Morikawa held firm during an interview that he had no interest of jumping ship any time soon.

“I’ve been a pro for two and a half years. My entire life I’ve thought about the PGA Tour,” Collin Morikawa said. “I’ve thought about playing against Tiger [Woods], beating his records, whatever, something that might not even be breakable. But I’ve never had another thought of what’s out there, right? I’ve never thought about anything else, it’s always been the PGA Tour.”

Collin Morikawa would go on to explain how he wants to see ‘evidence’ before making the leap to the Saudi league.

“The only way I can start thinking about other tours, other leagues, whatever you call it, I need concrete evidence,” he said. “I need to be able to see a sheet in front of me and know what’s out there, right? And as of now, for what I know, I don’t know what’s out there. All I’ve heard are rumors, all I’ve heard is talk and that’s hard to do.”

So far, players such as Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau have expressed interest in joining the new league, and there could be more big named to leave the PGA before it’s all said and done.

Luckily for the PGA, they’ll bee keeping one of their best young stars in Collin Morikawa for the time being.
