GRAEME McDowell wishes he hadn't put his head above the parapet when he joined the rebel side in golf's civil war.
After 20 years on the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, the Ulsterman cashed in his chips to become one of the big name players to join pied piper Greg Norman in the controversial new Saudi-backed venture.
Speaking before the first LIV event in London, McDowell said he was "proud" to join the new tour and found himself facing a storm.
