Cameron Young rejects LIV Golf, will stay with PGA Tour

While growing competitor LIV Golf continues to poach golfers to add to their roster, one of the PGA's rising stars is staying put. 

During Sunday's Tour Championship, rookie of the year favorite Cameron Young told reporters he's sticking with the PGA Tour. 

"Frankly, I have decided to stay," Young said. "It's a really difficult situation because it's not anything that anyone really wanted to happen. I think it wasn't meant to be this kind of hostile between the two."

LIV Golf courted Young heavily, as they have many other golfers. While Young considered jumping ship, he ultimately chose to stay the course with the Tour. 

Last week, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy held a player-only meeting, which Young also attended. McIlroy said the purpose of the meeting was to help "safeguard" the Tour for the next 50 years.

"We've all made a commitment to get together more often to make the product more compelling," McIlroy said. "I don't have a crystal ball, but I think everyone in that room felt this was the best way to move forward." 

While the PGA Tour organizes, LIV Golf continues to add defectors. Per ESPN, LIV Golf is expected to add several golfers next week, including the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world, Cameron Smith.
