Coming off a tie for fifth place at the U.S. Open, 25-year-old Collin Morikawa has reiterated his position that he will remain on the PGA Tour.

This statement from Morikawa comes as more golfers, reportedly including Brooks Koepka, are defecting to the LIV Invitational Golf Series and Morikawa removed any reference to the PGA Tour from his Twitter bio.

Still very early in his career, Morikawa has earned five tour wins, including two majors, the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

Although he has not won since last year’s Open Championship, Morikawa has seven Top 10 finishes in 14 events that he has played this season, missing two cuts.

It is a tumultuous time in the world of professional golf and the PGA Tour must be heartened by one of their top young stars asserting that he is not jumping ship.

Morikawa is not in the field at this week’s PGA event, The Travelers Championship. Here are the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and Caesars Sportsbook.
