Sir Nick Faldo has claimed there is no future for Greg Norman’s LIV Golf even with the “bottomless pit” of Saudi cash now in the sport.
Phil Mickelson today gave credit for all the changes in golf to the Saudi-backed breakaway league before the LIV Golf Valderrama this week. But Faldo has long been a critic of the “meaningless” 54-hole format run by his old enemy Norman.
The six-time Major winner is this week hosting the Betfred British Masters with DP World Tour is back on British soil for the first time this year - and the first time since the bombshell June 6 announcement of a deal between the PGA and DP World Tours and the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Faldo welcomed the “framework agreement” which he claimed will see the sport benefit from a “bottomless pit” of Saudi money.
