Golf star Bubba Watson has suggested any claims of 'awkwardness' between PGA Tour players and their LIV rivals have been overexaggerated by the media.
As the LIV Golf League approaches the anniversary of its arrival as an unprecedented competitor to the sport's establishment, reports of simmering tensions between the two sides continue to emerge. But Watson sought to downplay any notion of friction between players ahead of the third event in the second year of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League.
“I'm going to be honest, man. It's only awkward in the media,” Watson told reporters at Orange County National in Orlando, Florida. “I've talked to people that are going to be there. I'm going to sign up with Jason Day and Cam Young in the par-three. Some guys have already asked me to play some practice rounds.
