Collin Morikawa defends media snub amid PGA Tour criticism
Collin Morikawa faced criticism from several former PGA Tour players, including Brandel Chamblee and Rocco Mediate, for skipping post-round media interviews after finishing second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite leading by three shots with five holes to play, he lost to Russell Henley and opted not to engage with reporters afterward, citing emotional exhaustion. In a press conference before the Players Championship, Morikawa defended his actions, stating that he doesn't owe anyone an explanation and expressed disappointment that media members did not follow him after he spent time signing autographs for fans. Mediate condemned Morikawa's decision as 'selfish' and 'dumb,' suggesting that it lacked respect for the game. Morikawa reiterated his gratitude for fans but maintained that he needed space after the tournament. The incident has sparked debate about the responsibilities of professional athletes toward the media and their fans.
