WHEW.
We know that PGA Tour golfers aren’t exactly fans of those who took the money to join LIV Golf, but Justin Thomas took it a step further with his comments made during the 2023 PGA Champions dinner, thanks to footage from Season 2 of Netflix’s Full Swing.
Thomas raised a glass during the dinner and “personally wanted to have a cheers to Mito Pereira, because this would not happen without him.”
Rewind to 2022: Thomas won the PGA Championship as Pereira suffered a complete meltdown on 18 at Southern Hills. Then? Pereira went off and joined LIV Golf. So Thomas had some reason to deliver a low blow like that.
It’s right in the first episode, but here’s what it looked like:
Full Swing Season 2 is out and I have an inkling that golf fans will get much more out of it than S1.
