Nine-time Major champion Gary Player, who is an ambassador for Golf Saudi, has taken aim at the golfers who have defected to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series.
Player branded LIV a Tour for players who "don't have the confidence they can be winners" and said they had "declared war on the PGA Tour ". He also took aim at one of the rebel tour's major signings in Open champion Cameron Smith, with the Australian himself saying it would be "unfair" if players who had jumped to LIV were barred from playing in majors.
However, in a scathing assessment Player had no time at all for the Saudi-back series ad he told the BBC : "I wouldn't take a billion dollars for my nine majors on both tours. The only man to win the Grand Slam on both tours. I worked hard. I had desire. I travelled the world. It was an education, I met wonderful people.
