Stenson: Proposed Premier Golf League "Both exciting and turbulent"

Because of his global status, Henrik Stenson might be a candidate for one of the 12 founding player-captain franchises in the proposed Premier Golf League. So like nearly all players queried, he could not shoot down the concept.

Stenson is quoted in a story by The Scotsman’s Martin Dempster reporting on a European Tour email to players:

“It was a bit of both, I’d say. Probably more towards stamping down that not. I obviously know what everybody else has seen and read and it seems to be both exciting and turbulent a little bit at the moment.

“It is still early. I don’t think everything has been put on the table from every person or entity involved. It depends on where you are coming from as well. We’ve got a lot of different angles – we’ve got fans, we’ve got sponsors, we’ve got TV viewers, we’ve got players, we’ve got promoters. We are all in this together and the best way going forward would be to try and find a solution where everyone can benefit.”

The final comments are noteworthy. Add Stenson to the list of players noting the need for a solution to problems we were not aware existed until this proposed tour came along.
