Quote of the day

Collin Morikawa was asked about the debate over the new Georgia elections law and how the PGA Tour should respond.

“I don’t think we are stepping out of our way to block it out and forget about it.  This voter stuff and voters for American citizens is very important.  I think that’s the topic we should all be talking about.  We shouldn’t be talking about whether we’re here or not.  The Masters, the PGA Tour, we do such a good job and we’re trying to help communities out, and I think that’s our main focus for the week.

“But overall, the topic of voter rights and all that, that should be the topic that we talk about, not if we are here playing golf.  We are trying to do our best to help out communities and obviously give back to what we are doing for the week, and that’s our ability to travel around the entire world and around the U.S. and give back and give opportunities, like I said earlier.  Those opportunities are really important.”
