It appears crossover golf and MMA fans won’t get to experience Singh vs. Schnell in the octagon after all.
Vijay Singh caused quite a stir a few weeks back when the three-time major champion’s name appeared on the field list for the Korn Ferry Tour’s first post-pandemic event at TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course June 11-14.
On Sunday, the PGA Tour confirmed Singh has withdrawn from the Korn Ferry Challenge. Golf Channel was first to report.
Singh riled up golf Twitter – Korn Ferry Tour pro Brady Schnell, in particular – with his initial decision to enter the KFT event. Being a lifetime PGA Tour member, The Big Fijian was eligible to enter the event because he wasn’t playing in the Tour’s return to play that same week at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
Schnell called Singh a “turd” and “true piece of trash” for entering the KFT event. On the flipside, Singh received shocking support from Phil Mickelson and also David Duval. Schnell eventually apologized for his reaction.
