Lee Westwood has hit back at Tiger Woods ’ criticism of stars who have signed for LIV. Woods, the 15-time Major champion, accused players who have joined the Saudi-backed LIV series of turning their backs on the sport as he slammed the exhibition event.
The American superstar, who turned down over £100million to sign for LIV, compared the 54-hole format to the Seniors Tour earlier this week at The Open. “I just don't understand it,” said Woods. “What is the incentive to go out there and earn it in the dirt?”
Speaking before the 150th Open at St Andrews, golf’s first billionaire made clear his contempt for a breakaway league which offers $25m prize money for each event to the 48-man field with no cut.
