Donald Trump Jr has labelled disgraced former Ryder Cup captain Henrik Stenson’s win at LIV Golf ‘the greatest f*** you in the history of golf’.
The lucrative series, funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, has divided golf with the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sport's biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson.
Former Team Europe Ryder Cup captain Henrik Stenson secured a two-stroke victory at the third LIV Golf event - which took place in Bedminster - to earn a £3.37 million payout, more than the £2.08 million awarded to Australian Cameron Smith for securing the coveted Open title last month. His win comes after the Swede was publicly stripped of his captaincy following his switch to LIV Golf.
