On the LIV golf front, the past several days have been busy. According to a Wall Street Journal article published on Wednesday, 11 LIV Golf Invitational Series competitors, including Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, have filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour in response to their expulsion from the American circuit after switching to the Saudi-sponsored series.
They want to participate in PGA Tour events, despite the fact that doing so would add to the already planned 14 tournaments for 2023 by LIV, which ultimately goes against many of their main justifications for joining the fledgling league — we want to play less golf and spend more time with our families!
Since the lawsuit’s publication, a number of new details have emerged, one of which is the claim that Augusta National administrators allegedly tried to dissuade players from joining LIV. However, Greg Norman, the CEO of LIV Golf, and Sergio Garcia’s texts are the most intriguing.
Garcia was announced on May 31 as one of the featured performers for the first LIV event in London. However, these texts show that Garcia had been organizing his jump for months.
Sergio Garcia was concerned regarding the PGA tour’s ban of players
“I just wanted to see how things are going with the League cause it seems like a lot of those guys that were loving it and excited about it last week, now are sh**ing their pants,” Sergio Garcia wrote in a text on February 11. Nearly a week later, this text was written by Garcia: “Hi Sharky! It’s official, the Tour has told our managers this week that whoever signs with the League, is banned from the Tour for life! I don’t know how are we gonna get enough good players to join the League under these conditions.”
Norman retorted that the Tour could not pull off such a maneuver, and he was resolute in his belief. “They cannot ban you for one day let alone life. It is a shallow threat.” Norman replied.
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan suspended 17 players from the PGA Tour on June 9 after they competed in LIV London. Garcia is one of the former Tour professionals that renounced his membership. life comes at you very quickly
