Taking to Twitter, the League of Defectors posted a complete roster of each of its 12 teams and drive the fans berserk. The roster reveal left many bewildered. Many were so confused, in fact, that they were just not able to pick out one team to support!

Fans started to take to the comments section and voice out their own opinions as to who would grab the win.

From last year’s Crushers, led by Bryson DeChambeau, to one of the new teams, the Range Goats, captained by Bubba Watson, many names were thrown into the mix.

But amongst all the excitement, fans were also infuriated with how the teams had been named. Many even claimed that children could have done a better job. And some refused to acknowledge the league teams as long as they had such ridiculous names, while others came out with their own suggestions.

There were also many PGA Tour loyalists in the crowd who went on to criticize the league. They claimed that the tour was far superior and that LIV could never hold a candle to it.
