LIV Golf started out with a game on the course early in June this year. For the past few months, the series has constantly been in the limelight. Since its incorporation, many iconic players have left the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed league, like Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, and Brooks Koepka.
Both Smith and Phil faced off against each other in the quarterfinals of the LIV Championship in Miami today. Smith sank a seven-foot birdie to knock out Phil and his team. The commentator, Arlo White, soon after this final shot, announced, “A match that will be etched into LIV Golf lore.” The fans had lots to say about that.

LIV Golf and Arlo White get trolled.
After the match, LIV Golf posted the clip of Cam’s last shot and Arlo’s commentary on Twitter. The tweet served as a great platform for fans to vent their opinions and feelings about the wealthy league and its players. The majority of the trolls were about their small fan base, and quite a few sarcastic tweets were made about it about it.
OMG, The drama of this exhibition match was unbelievable. It had to be so exciting for the 50 fans in attendance to witness.

Super70Sports also tweeted LIV Golf’s video, mocking Arlo, saying he was acting like the players were competing in the Ryder Cup. “LOL. This mother f****r thinks he’s calling the Ryder Cup. Mickelson is wearing shorts and has played at least nine thousand money games he cared about more than this. “ To the fans it looked like Phil couldn’t care less.

Arlo White didn’t escape the insults either.
Arlo is the king of hyperbole. He’d try to find a way to make Thursday night football feel like the SB. So glad he’s gone from the EPL.

Clearly, the broadcast team has drunk the Saudi kool-aid too. Given the sparse crowd, I bet the cheering was added, not real

Clearly, the fans have not yet taken a liking to LIV Golf.
