LET us get one thing clear. Golf’s so-called civil war is actually quite civilised. Here at leafy Wentworth, loyalists of the established tours and the LIV Golf rebels are still exchanging pleasantries, hand-shakes and high-fives despite us fevered lot in the media depicting the kind of chaotic battles, jousts and skirmishes you would see stitched into the Bayeux Tapestry.
This does not mean there is an absence of passionate opinion, of course. The presence of a number of LIV defectors in this week’s BMW PGA Championship has added a good dollop of spice to the DP World Tour’s flagship event.
