Paul Casey says LIV players are not trying to damage golf: ‘We leave this to those in charge of the Tour’

Paul Casey knew what would happen when he made his decision to join LIV Golf. The three-time PGA Tour and 15-time DP World Tour winner admitted so multiple times while speaking to media ahead of his debut at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster this week.

“There’s a lot more to my decision of sitting here than just a financial opportunity and less golf. But I was very aware of the ramifications of making this choice,” said Casey on Wednesday, noting how he’s won on five different tours. “The PGA Tour is something, it was a goal of mine to play on the PGA Tour, and it’s been an incredible journey.”

After fellow LIV rookie Henrik Stenson lost his captaincy for next year’s matches in Italy for joining the Greg Norman-led and Saudi Arabia-funded series, the five-time member of Team Europe admitted he was concerned about his own Ryder Cup future.
