8 times PGA Tour golfers and others ripped LIV Golf that now make the merger so awkward

Since LIV Golf became a thing, players on the PGA Tour — along with an abundance of golf fans — had plenty to say about the Saudi Arabia-backed tour making an attempt to compete with the premier one.

And as of Tuesday — when the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf League, along with DP World Tour, announced a merger agreement — they have a lot more to say. Especially when some PGA players were not only stunned by the news but also learned about the merger on Twitter like pretty much everyone else.

The merger news shocked the golf world, leaving fans with plenty of questions about how all this will work. While we don’t have all those answers yet, we do know that this merger could make things a bit awkward with so many in the sports world criticizing LIV Golf in the past.

So while we wait to see how this works out, here’s a look back at eight times PGA golfers ripped LIV Golf in the last year.
