LIV Golf rebel Martin Kaymer has announced he has withdrawn from next week's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth due to 'player friction'. A total of 19 LIV players entered next week's flagship DP World Tour event, but that number is now 18 following Kaymer's withdrawal.
It is no doubt set to be an awkward week at the home of European golf, with LIV golfers making a return to the tour they have recently been at war with. Europe's main man Rory McIlroy will also be at Wentworth, and the Northern Irishman admitted it is going to be 'hard to stomach' playing alongside the rebels in Surrey.
Speaking after his recent FedEx Cup win, he said: "It's going to be hard for me to stomach going to Wentworth and seeing 18 of them there. That just doesn't sit right with me.
