'Any Given Week, I Could Whoop Anybody's A**, Period. I'm 46 Years Old And On My Way Out Of The Game But I Could Win A PGA Tour Event Next Week And That Mean's I'm Still Relevant' - Pro Defends PGA Tour's Rank-And-File Players

: Robert Garrigus of the United States plays his shot from the second tee during the first round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana.

Robert Garrigus has issued an impassioned defence of the PGA Tour's rank-and-file members, claiming he could still "whoop anybody's a**" on any given week. 

The statement comes amidst growing tensions between the Tour's top stars and the rank-and-file players, with a growing fear that any merger with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) will see more money siphoned off to the game's biggest players.
