Saudi golf chief Majed Al Sorour has said he was misquoted over claims LIV Golf would create their own majors and backtracked on his original comments.
The four golf majors are ran independently of the PGA Tour meaning they will have an extra spice next year when players of the rival circuits go head-to-head for the coveted titles. Last week Al Sorour was quoted as stating he would 'create his own majors' if LIV Golf players are banned from the blue riband events.
In a statement released by Saudi Golf, Al Sorour now denies saying the comments and praised the heritage of the major tournaments.
