Paul McGinley has taken aim at the LIV Golf Series, claiming that the mega-money model behind it makes ‘no sense’. The Saudi-backed circuit has lured in some of the sport’s biggest names, offering huge sums of money in signing on fees and prize money.
The likes of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau have all made the controversial move - each receiving three of the biggest agreements on offer from Greg Norman and his team. The saga has unsurprisingly split opinion in the world of golf, with some of the sport’s biggest names speaking out.
In particular former Ryder Cup winning captain McGinley has had his say, claiming that the divide created is ‘really sad for pro golf’ - slamming the financial model supporting the circuit.
