The recent announcement of the LIV Golf Series has got caught up in quite the stir of controversy, as the Saudi backed golf series has attracted the attention of many. The LIV Series has also been causing friction between golfers and the PGA Tour. It is scheduled to be held from June 9th to 11th, with a whopping purse of $25 million.
The PGA Tour has threatened disciplinary action for any golfer who changes to the LIV Series. However, golfers have found support with Greg Norman, who has aligned with the tour and has promised to back all the golfers that make the switch from the PGA Tour to the LIV Series. Some golfers that will be playing in the series include Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Dustin Johnson and Kevin Na to name a few.
Paige Spiranac asks golfers to tell the truth about the LIV Golf series
It is no secret that all the golfers were proposed a large amount of money to come join the LIV Series, and several golfers like Tiger Woods turned down the amount. However, many golfers have not revealed how much they have been given, or that they have been given any money at all. In a recent tweet, Paige Spiranac spoke out about the golfers that were being paid to make the switch.
The tweet read: “These elaborate statements are annoying. No one going to the LIV tour actually cares about the progression of the game. I wish they just said “because it’s a shit ton of money.””
Paige Spiranac wants all golfers to come clean about the money that they are being paid. It has been reported that some golfers have been paid between $125 to $200 million for just showing up to the Series. The LIV Series will certainly be an interesting one, and a one that the PGA is not too happy about.
