On to the PGA tour, they are not without criticism for the "we are the good guy" stance.

- Continued Investment in a Flagship WGC event in China
- In last 5 years have allowed members to play in Saudi events.   They may also be drawing cuts of appearance fees when players play off tour (read somewhere, but it may also be false as I could not verify it anywhere else).
- Historically not taking much of a stand on anything.
- From a competitive level, getting way too greedy in the number of tournaments it has, stretching the talent pool way to thin for many of its own events.
- Questionable Charity Status at the Parent Level, a level which they make very few donations, in what some might consider a tax deferral / tax avoidance scheme.
- reported questionable spending within some of its charitable efforts.

Overall its great that money gets to charities (and I do 100% applaud the PGA tour for their involvement in helping with that), but the charity partners have to put substantial HR and other investments in the tournaments they are helping to run, and at times recently have had to take on more risk.
