Reigning U.S. Open champion Matthew Fitzpatrick fielded several questions Monday about the landmark merger between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), but the English golfer had little information to offer outside what is already public knowledge. 

"I’ll be completely honest. I literally know as much as you," he told reporters ahead of this year’s tournament.

"I found out when everyone else found out and, yeah, honestly I know literally nothing."

The PGA Tour announced last week it would be entering a partnership with the PIF and the DP World Tour that would combine the three circuits into a single entity. The announcement caught many by surprise, including members of the tour. 

"I just don’t know what’s going on," Fitzpatrick added Monday. 

"I don’t think anyone knows what’s going on. Are we signing with the PIF? Are we not signing with the PIF? I have no idea. Even though I guess it is confusing, it’s pretty clear that nobody knows what’s going on apart from about four people in the world."
