LIV Golf have accused Tiger Woods of publicly criticising younger players for joining the controversial Saudi-backed breakaway circuit.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and 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 Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson.
The accusations towards Woods were made in court documents initially submitted by 11 LIV Golf stars, although Carlos Ortiz has since withdrawn his name. The documents were part of an antitrust lawsuit filed against the PGA Tour last week.
