Henrik Stenson has been blasted for chasing a ‘bucket load of cash’ by fellow pro Eddie Pepperell, following the Swede’s contentious switch to LIV Golf. Stenson has become the latest big name to move to the mega-money breakaway circuit, but it is arguably the most controversial yet.
In taking LIV Golf membership, Stenson was stripped of his European Ryder Cup captaincy just 14 months before the event in Rome. Following the news, the Swede has received plenty of criticism - including from his fellow pros.
DP World Tour star Pepperell hit out at the former skipper on Twitter, accusing him of chasing the mega-money on offer in exchange for one of golf’s most prestigious roles.
