Ben Crenshaw is concerned about the current state of golf, including the Masters. He is the two-time winner of the Green Jacket. He expressed his thoughts about LIV Golf, the source of his worry. The 19-time PGA Tour winner attended an interview on Golf Today on Golf Channel. He was asked about the future direction of the Saudi-backed series on Friday.

In response to the question from co-host Damon Hack, Crenshaw said, “I don’t know.” However, he expressed his one wish. He wants people to understand how much golf means to so many people. What it means to these players who have spent their entire careers on the road is that they are trying to advance professionally, improve, and outperform one another.

Why was PGA Tour veteran upset due to LIV Golf?

The next question was even more of an eye-opener where Crenshaw expressed his true feelings about the Saudi-funded Tour. The retired golfer joined the PGA tour in 1973, making him one of the most experienced players.

Therefore, the host wanted to know his views on the current scenario of golf after he spent 40 years on the American Tour. LIV’s entrance in the picture changed many things, which Crenshaw was not a fan of, and he said his heart out.

‘Deafening Silence’: Golf World Reacts to Latest Disappointing LIV Golf Update

The PGA tour winner said that since he spent 40 years, people can imagine how he must feel looking at relationships falling apart. Many friendships and relations were jeopardized because few golfers chose to join the lucrative Tour, leaving their connections, friendships, and legacy behind.

Crenshaw does not like to see people falling apart and ruining their bonds. He explained his pain and said, “I owe my life to golf. I don’t like what’s going on; I must be honest. I don’t like to see breakups of relationships that have been combined over a long period of time. I happen to think that there are things in golf and in life that are more important than money.”

\The 70-year-old golfer continued by saying that although he has a lifetime’s worth of friendships and memories, he doesn’t enjoy them. According to him, the sport has been able to avoid many issues so far that have interfered with the sport.

However, he disagrees with the current situation and wishes things to be different. LIV Golf has captured quite well and brought many changes; however, he is confident that the PGA Tour features the best competition.
