LIV Golf rebels appeared to be erased from history in a bizarre new TV graphic that has received widespread backlash on social media.
The Golf Channel in the United States wiped the names of LIV renegades Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson from their "past champions" graphic during their live broadcast of the WGC Match Play on Saturday.
A familiar list shown during a tournament broadcast highlighted previous winners of the eminent event at the Austin Country Club, which is set to be scrapped in 2024 as part of a radical overhaul in the PGA Tour schedule. The winners all the way back to Team Europe Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald in 2011 are shown, but the glaring omission of two years on the graphic has fuelled inevitable accusations of bias against the contentious Saudi-funded LIV circuit.
