The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Considering the international nature of his Tour, Kinnings' wish for a worldwide answer to unify the game is unsurprising.
  • However, despite Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, also being a member of the DP World Tour board and the DP World Tour being a long-standing 'strategic alliance' partner with the PGA Tour , the European circuit will not have a dedicated representative at the talks.
  • However, despite these concerns and McIlroy's eagerness to resume his role on the board, Woods and co voted down Simpson's resignation and kept him on. This means that McIlroy's influence as a big voice who believes a deal should be done as quickly as possible with PIF to end the civil war remains on the outside.
  • We were always delighted to have European representation,

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Northern Irishman had earlier likened Saudi-PGA Tour negotiations to the Good Friday Agreement
  • Phil Mickelson's laughable LIV threat shows majors matter more than ever
  • Tiger Woods votes against Rory McIlroy returning to PGA Tour board for LIV peace talks

Contradictions

60%

Examples:

  • DP World Tour is not granted an exclusive place at the negotiating table[
  • Rory McIlroy's attempts to rejoin the PGA Tour board were blocked by Woods and two other player directors
  • ]Tiger Woods is the sole player involved in PGA Tour's negotiations with Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF)[

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The DP World Tour is still waiting to be granted an exclusive place at the negotiating table
  • There are fears that US insularity will scupper the deal-making.
