Picture this: a room full of golf’s finest, gathered for what was supposed to be a routine players’ meeting. Yet it was anything but routine! In one corner, you have Grayson Murray, known more for stirring the pot than for his swings. And in the other, Rory McIlroy, the guy who’s as cool as a cucumber on and off the green. But what made this meeting special was not either of those two players; it was Jay Monohan, the PGA commissioner.
In that meeting, the tension was palpable after Monohan delivered a verbal sucker punch. After a year of talking trash about LIV and their backers, Monohan made a surprise deal to partner with LIV Golf. At the time, many players were trying to side with the PGA to defend its status as the best golf league in the world. They wanted nothing to do with LIV.
So, to no one’s surprise, there was some backlash.
One of which came from Grayson Murray. He apparently shouted across the room for Monohan to resign from his position as the PGA commissioner, saying, “We don’t trust you, Jay. You lied to our face!”
But Rory, ever the smooth operator, hit back with a line that’s now legendary: “Just play better, Grayson.”
That’s it. Four words. Simple, yet they hit like a ton of bricks.
Appalled by Rory’s response, Murray told him to “F*** Off.”

Golf’s finest gathered for what was supposed to be a routine players meeting yet it was anything but routine and one corner you have Grayson Murray known more for stirring the pot than for his swings and in the other Rory maroy the guy who’s as cool as a cucumber on and
Off the green but what made this meeting special was not either of those two players it was Jay Monahan the PGA commissioner in that meeting the tension was palpable after Monahan delivered a verbal Sucker Punch after a year of talking trash about living their backers Monahan made a surprise deal to partner
With Liv golf at the time many players were trying to side with the PGA to defend its status as the best golf league in the world they wanted nothing to do with live so to no one’s surprise there was some backlash one of which came from Grayson Murray he apparently
Shouted across the room for Monahan to resign from his position as the PGA commissioner saying we don’t trust you Jay you lied to our face but Rory ever the Smooth Operator hit back with a line that’s now legendary just play better Grayson that’s it for Words simple yet
They hit like a ton of bricks appalled by Roy’s response Murray told him to F off it was later revealed that cooler heads prevailed after the meeting but the damage was done he raised legitimate concerns with PJ leadership and the response he got was basically shut up and get better interestingly macroy just
Play better taunt didn’t necessarily go over well with other players on the tour also many felt the same shock as Murray and questions of trust in Monahan and his handling of the PGA Tour Saga still lingered today so what did Murray go on to do did he sulk away nope he took
Those words and turned them into fuel igniting a fire in his game that had been missing for way too long since that fiery exchange Murray’s been swinging his clubs like a man on a mission his drives longer and straighter his putts it’s like he’s got GPS chips in the ball
It’s been a trans information that’s got everyone talking let’s roll out some numbers to paint the picture but first smash that subscribe button and hit the like if you’re enjoying this video so far okay back to the stats Murray’s racked up five top 10 finishes including two wins in his tournament since he
Posted a 16 under at the John Deere in place six then he posted an 18 under at the barbasol championship securing him seventh then late in the year on the corn fairy tournaments he secured a win at Simmons Bank open scoring another 17 under he carried this momentum over into
The 2024 season and posted another 17 under in the Sony Open in Hawaii he made the final shot to clinch the title in a three-way Playoff round with a jaw-dropping 39 ft putt it was the stuff of Legend Murray’s been playing like a man who’s got something to prove not
Just to the world but to himself and there is more to it remember Murray’s heartfelt words after his big win a lot of hard work pays off off he said standing on the green a champion reborn it’s not easy you know I wanted to give
Up a lot of times give up on myself give up on the game of golf give up on life at times Murray struggles aren’t a secret they’ve been out there for the world to see cast your mind back three years ago right here in the same city
Where he clinched the Sony Open where he found himself in a bit of a pickle at a hotel bar an incident that landed him on probation with the PJ tour and it didn’t stop there he became known for his alcohol fueled rants on social media taking Jabs at the tour and other
Players then in the fall of 2022 things took a darker turn when he crashed his scooter into oncoming traffic it was a wakeup call a moment that screamed for change in a last ditch effort to turn his life around Murray checked into rehab it was a month that changed
Everything he’s been sober for eight months now and it shows not just in his game but in his whole demeanor and Rory well he’s likely been watching all of this probably with a mix of surprise and a little bit of I told you so while his comment was not the greatest many Pros
Agree that it was meant wholeheartedly from one pro to another now let’s zoom out a bit and look at the bigger picture the PGA Tour a place where Champions are made and sometimes where The Underdogs feel left in the dust this is where our story takes an interesting turn
Highlighting two very different sides of the same coin on one side you’ve got Grayson Murray kind of like the unsung hero of the PJ tour he’s the guy who represents the players who often feel overlooked especially with all the drama surrounding the PGA live fight think
About it more events with big money for the top dogs but what about the guys at the back of the pack for them it’s like trying to climb a mountain with no peak in sight Murray’s Outburst at macroy that wasn’t just a random rant it was
The voice of frustration a cry from a player Feeling sidelined by the very organization that he’s a part of then there’s Roy maroy the face of the p DJ tour during its tug-of war with the PFS League Rory’s been the Martyr the guy putting it all on the line while the
Tour has been duking it out with Liv go but here’s the twist Rory recently realized he’s been more of a sacrificial lamb than a celebrated hero stepping down from his player director position he started singing a different tune talking about making peace with Liv Golf and even pushing for John ROM’s
Inclusion in the Ridder cup despite ROM’s leap to live he tweeted I was maybe a little judgmental of the guys who went to live golf at the start and I think it was a bit of a mistake on my part because I now realize that not
Everyone is in my position or in Tiger woods’ position we all turn professional to make a living playing the sport that we do and I think that’s what I realized over the last 2 years I can’t judge people for making that decision so if I regret anything it was probably being
Too judgmental at the start I wouldn’t say I’ve lost the fight against Liv but I’ve just accepted the fact that this is a part of our sport now maoy change of stance was a breath of fresh air honest and raw even Phil’s tweet response to it was uncharacteristic Phil tweeted this
Quote and the many others made today by Rory probably weren’t easy to say let’s not use this as an opportunity to pile on rather it’s time for me and others to let go of our hostilities and work towards a positive future rah’s signing is turning into a bridge to bring both
Sides together while Rory’s struggles are a world apart from the struggles of players like Murray who rely on the tour’s win for their bread and butter it still shows both players have undergone a significant shift one on The Fairway the other in the bureaucratic land of
Golf and that’s the beauty of it all the unpredictability of sport it’s a world where the maoy don’t always take home the trophy and the graysons aren’t always left holding the bag 6 months after their Feud the tables have turned and now everyone’s eyes are on what’s
Next what’s this new framework going to look like how will it reshape the landscape of golf we’ll find out soon enough and that my friends wraps up another round here at good bogy golf before you scoot off to your next tea time remember if you’ve enjoyed this
Quick dive into the greens and bunkers of golf’s greatest dramas why not give that like button a good whack think of it as your way of chipping a little off J Monahan’s pile all in good fun of course and hey don’t forget to smash that subscribe button like you’re
