After a stretch of high scores and frustrating results, Matthew Wolff produced a round Friday at LIV Golf Greenbrier more reflective of his immense talent: a 9-under 61 that ties the LIV-record low.
In a tweet posted over the weekend regarding potential penalties facing LIV Golf members who seek to return to the PGA Tour, Mickelson wrote the matter is “a colossal waste of time”.
Golf’s civil war is over. Well, it might be over. Depends who you ask. The professional game has at least reached detente, and though no one knows for certain where the sport is going and who will be guiding it and what it all means, there is one incontrovertible takeaway from two years of drama, conflict, instability, and struggle:
A key provision that neither the PGA Tour nor LIV Golf would recruit players from the other circuit as officials from the tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund attempted to create a new for-profit entity has been scrapped, according to a report yesterday in the New York Times.
Asked how he felt about being identified as a possible team captain in the LIV Golf League, Rory McIlroy left no one in any doubt as to his feelings about the Saudi-backed circuit that has so disrupted the world of professional golf during the past couple of years.
Attorney Larry Klayman, who has been seeking a class-action antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, wrote that the release of the documents appeared to be a clerical error by the court.
There’s an odd dilemma with this year’s Ryder Cup: The biennial event is a mere 86 days out, and who is eligible to compete—or more specifically, who’s not—remains unclear.
Tiger Woods says he never received scripted comments reportedly sent from the PGA Tour last year when the tour was intensifying its defensive stance against the just launched LIV Golf circuit.
The message LIV Golf projected at its Valderrama tournament—its first since the June 6 announcement of a partnership between its financiers, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), and the PGA Tour—was simple: the fledgling league isn’t going anywhere.
There’s been genuine anticipation for this week’s tournament, given Valderrama’s past as a host site for the Ryder Cup, World Golf Championships event and an annual stop on the DP World Tour.
