‘Clueless and Silly’ LIV Golf Gets Slammed After Controversial Comments Draw the Ire of Fans

Fans are well aware of the long-going rivalry between the LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, and now it has taken a new turn. Majed Al Sorour, CEO of Golf Saudi, has issued a statement, and it is making rounds on the internet. In the report, he talked about major tournaments and how the PGA has denied the LIV members to be part of it. After being quite unhappy, he announced they would come up with their majors. But here is the twist.

Today he issued another statement saying that his words were ‘misrepresented’ and that LIV is not coming up with its own major. The words he spoke were because of the frustration due to the blackmailing that LIV players are facing. He clarified more and said that, a few weeks ago, he was having a casual conversation with a New Yorker reporter at LIV’s Boston event. It was not official; instead, it was mere frustration. 

The internet is mighty, and news spreads like fire in the jungle. The golf fans swamped the comments section with their views on the statement and retraction of it.

What do golf fans think about the CEO of LIV Golf?

Fans had mixed reactions about the LIV having their majors, and the CEO retracted the statement, calling it a misrepresentation.

However, some golf fans did not buy what the CEO said.

When the statement about creating majors was making rounds on the internet, fans did not relate to it. Creating a major is impossible because those are titles earned based on history and merit. However, some also gave ideas of LIV vs. PGA Ryder Cup.

But after he retracted the statement, people considered LIV a failure. They swamped the comment section with funny comments and were utterly against LIV. Fans were not happy, and they were commenting about boycotting the LIV altogether. Some fans feel like people don’t watch the tournaments and are unaware of the players. There was too much heat in the comments section, and fans were asking questions and commenting sarcastically.

Thus, people has a lot to say.

How it all started?

The new golf series, LIV, backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, has created chaos in the golf world since its launch in October 2021. They coined this to reinvigorate golf by paying more to players and efficient marketing. 

Outstanding players like Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and so forth left the PGA Tour behind and joined LIV. As a result, they were suspended and denied the right to play majors, as they were not part of the PGA tour. They filed a lawsuit against PGA, but later some players, including Mickelson, withdrew the case.

This heated incident took another turn with the LIV’s CEO’s statement of creating their major, followed by retraction. This brings us to today with various reactions of golf fans.
