"I think that’s a terrible idea to let the guys who are not loyal to the PGA Tour leave and then walk back in with just a slap on the wrist and then say ‘let’s go, boys’.
I think that’s wrong," asserted Lehman.
Lehman concluded his argument by reinforcing the necessity of a total competitive reset for all returning individuals.
"You know, start over. Earn your way back up and that’s what I would do," said Lehman.
Lehman extended his strict stance directly to Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently assisting LIV CEO Scott O’Neil with investor presentations while his contract nears its expiration.
"Start over. Earn your way back up," reiterated Lehman.
Lehman acknowledged his personal fondness for DeChambeau's playing style but maintained that organizational fairness must supersede individual popularity.
"I don’t care who you are. You know, and I love Bryson.
I love him, I mean, I think he’s one of my favourite players in the world.
I love Bryson, and he’s good enough where, you know, you put him in that position, he’ll work his way back up," stated Lehman.

Lehman concluded that granting special privileges above loyal tour members who rejected lucrative breakaway contracts remains fundamentally unjust.
"You know, but to put him above the guys who loyally stayed with the Tour and have played on the Tour, who maybe even turned down big money, I think is wrong," said Lehman.
