The PGA Tour is braced for a backlash from Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy after it emerged that the two superstars were left in the dark over the controversial merger with LIV Golf.
The world of golf was rocked on Tuesday by the shock news that the two warring factions who had divided the game were coming together. The initial creation of LIV Golf sparked a bitter feud between those who stuck with the PGA Tour and those who left for the huge contracts being offered by the Saudi Arabian-owned tour.
PGA Tour players like Colin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala spoke out about their surprise over the U-turn on social media. And it has since emerged that Woods and McIlroy were also not briefed about the deal – a detail which raises questions about how it came about.
