Lee Westwood has claimed life was “getting lonely” on the PGA and DP World Tours. The 49-year-old was one of the biggest names to defect to the controversial LIV series and will appear in the event’s Asian debut at Stonehill in Bangkok this week.
Having been a professional golfer for almost 30 years, the Englishman explained that his huge experience on the circuit was becoming a burden. He said: “I walk up and down the range the last few years, two, three years, whether it be a PGA Tour event or European Tour event, and I have to look at the names on the bags.
“I don't know 75 percent of the players out there. That was starting to get a bit lonely for me." Westwood explained the reason life on Tour had become more isolated was because he lacked common ground with many of the younger players.
