LIV Golf has had many individuals advocate for them in their battle against the PGA Tour. Among those, one of the most outspoken is the former POTUS, Donald Trump. The ex-President’s closeness with the Tour and its executives has been quite noticeable from the beginning. But recently a revelation about Trump’s involvement in the LIV 2023 season came to light, leaving the golf world unsure of how to feel about it.

The golf world didn’t know what to feel about the news. The only emotion shared by all was that they were unsurprised. “Just rename it the Trump tour,” commented one fan. And another wrote, “I’m surprised there weren’t more.”

The PGA Tour Loyalists also chimed in, stating that the Saudi-backed league and Trump were “perfect for each other.” One fan wrote, “Trump and LIV are a match made in hell.”

Well, isn’t that special. The former guy has always been tight with the Saudis, so it makes sense.
Some fans just didn’t care about the news. They furiously lashed out, saying the writers could “do better” and that they didn’t care “who the owner is of a golf course for a tournament.”
Who fucking cares who the owner is of a golf course for a tournament?
Are you not surprised either, with the former President being part of the new season of the breakaway league?
