In an interview after Holloway's performance at the 2025 World Indoors, Holloway said that his aspirations would be fulfilled better if he were not aligned with the Grand Slam Track. Additionally, he mentioned that Johnson and the GST committee have approached him to sign, but he has denied it. Talking to FloTrack, he said (00:11 onwards):

"No it's tough only because with the Diamond League and everything going on, it's one of the things where I try to put myself in the best position to win the 110m hurdles."

"I know Michael Johnson and Grand Slam committee has reached out to me, I told both of them that it's a great idea, it's going to be very successful but it's not a great idea for Grant Holloway. As it grows I am wishing the success for the program and the system but I don't think it's the best thing for me," he added.

During the conversation, Holloway also clarified that his decision to not participate in the league wasn't influenced by the fact that GST athletes have to compete in a 100m race along with the 110m hurdles event, but more because the schedule and system don't align with what is best for him.
