The golf world had been waiting for a long time to hear the names of the players who will be playing in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf events/tour and late Tuesday night that news was finally released, with Dustin Johnson being the biggest name of the group.
While DJ, who is a total bore, was a bit of a surprise, most of the other names were not. Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, Talor Gooch and a few others are on the list of guys that won’t have anyone trying to find these events on TV when, or if, they are aired.
Rory McIlroy has long been on the side of the PGA Tour while the speculation of a new league has been going on and he had a perfect response to the news on Wednesday:
