The PGA Tour has denied Bubba Watson's claims that he received money to appear in several events before defecting to LIV Golf.
Two-time Masters champion Watson hit back amid widespread criticism of LIV Golf after becoming the latest star to sign up for the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit in July.
LIV Golf has come under scrutiny for luring players from golf's status quo by offering up lucrative financial packages but Watson alleges it is also common practice on the PGA Tour.
