In a recent interview, 15 Major title winner, Tiger Woods, said, “I disagree with it. I think that what they’ve done is they’ve turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position.”
He also talked about the players who have never played on the PGA tour and went straight to the LIV Golf series. “Some players have never got a chance to even experience it. They have gone from the amateur ranks right into that organization.”
