English golf star Matt Fitzpatrick has echoed the opinion of golf legend Tiger Woods, after making the decision to decline a mega-money switch to the LIV Invitational Golf Series in search of ‘legacies and trophies’. The Saudi-backed series led by former world No. 1 Greg Norman has sent shockwaves around the world of golf in recent months, as it looks to lure some of the sport’s biggest names away from the DP World and PGA Tours.
After plenty of speculation the entry list for the breakaway circuit’s inaugural event at Centurion Club was released on Wednesday ahead of the first tee off next week. The likes of Dustin Johnson, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia were all included, but one man who was not on the list is Fitzpatrick.
The Sheffield-born star has announced himself as one of the world’s best over the past few seasons, picking up seven European Tour titles and two Ryder Cup call-ups all whilst only being 27.
