Stephen Smith recently spoke out about the LIV Golf Series, and his comments have taken a bold stance on the situation. Tiger Woods recently met up with several of the top golfers in the world to gain support and discuss about the future and strategy of the PGA Tour, especially as it battles with the LIV Series.

During Tuesday’s First Take, ESPN’s Stephen Smith spoke about Woods, and expressed his disgust about the golfer rallying against LIV Golf. Woods has recently been accused of doing the bidding for the PGA Tour and criticising the golfers that have defected to the LIV Series. “I’m disgusted by it. Let me explain why. The United States government, their number two trade partner, from what I’ve read, is Saudi Arabia. a host of U.S. corporations, and I apologize, I just googled it, I just looked it up just now. If I’m wrong about anybody, please forgive me, General Electric, AT&T, Bank of America, Halliburton Company, Pfizer International,” Smith began explaining.

“If I’m wrong, I apologize, it was online. Talk about these major corporations doing business. I don’t know. I just said it was online, so I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say U.S. corporations doing big business with Saudi Arabia and suddenly individuals are looking to get paid and everybody is in an uproar?” Smith talked about the selective outrage that the media was pouring on to the LIV Series.

Smith said that Woods was going up against American economic principle of competition. Smith said that competition breeds greatness, while Woods was talking like the PGA Tour was the only game in town. “You got Tiger Woods supporting, feeling like players betrayed the PGA. What do you owe the PGA? Show the PGA, you work you produce, you go out there and you earn your money,” he said.

Smith also spoke about the pay outs of the PGA Tour and the system that only gives players prize money. “They don’t pay everybody. Winners get paid. Losers don’t necessarily get paid. I don’t know all the particulars … and I’m not pretending to. I’m addressing principle, meaning American principle.” Stephen Smith said that it was disgusting that Woods was doing the rallying for the PGA Tour.
