The civil war dividing golf between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf took another turn on Sunday as Spanish star Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano slammed former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and it has divided golf, leaving the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sports biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson.
Fernandez-Castano plays on the DP World Tour, formerly known as the European Tour, which is the circuit that will have 17 LIV Golf players competing in the PGA Championship at Wentworth this week. Meanwhile, McGinley is a board member on the DP World Tour after finishing his career as a six-time Ryder Cup champion as a player, vice-captain and captain.
