2 of the Most Missed LIV Golf Defectors on the PGA Tour, According to a 7-Time Winner

PGA Tour has seen a lot of players exit from the Tour to join the newly founded LIV Golf. Though most fans are vehemently against the defectors, the stars will quite evidently be missed. Whether it’s their character on the course or their skills, some fans and fellow PGA Tour players do surely miss some of the lucrative Tour stars. Recently one of the PGA Tour players shared which defector he misses the most.

Though most fans blame the LIV Golf for ruining the sport, the defectors beg to differ. The Tour has managed to grasp some of the PGA Tour’s best talents, thanks to its Saudi funding. Despite each receiving massive public criticism for their move, more and more PGA Tour players have jumped to the lucrative series.

Though most PGA Tour players may be disappointed with their former colleagues, one of them shared about which defector he misses the most. The star was none other than Xander Schaufelle. So which defector does World Number 4 miss the most?

Which LIV Golf stars does Schauffele miss the most?

Like most golfers, Xander Schauffele was also approached with an offer from LIV Golf. However, the 28-year-old rejected the lucrative Tour and confirmed his allegiance to the PGA Tour. Ahead of the final FedExCup Playoff, Schauffele was asked which LIV Golf guys he misses the most.

Schauffele replied by saying that he does miss all of them. However, he had two specific names. Xander Schauffele said, “I mean, from a competition standpoint, all of them. On a personal note, I miss Dustin and AJ.”

Clearly, Dustin Johnson did have a huge impact not just on the Tour but on the sport. However, most people may not be familiar with AJ. Schaufelle refers to Dustin Johnson’s younger brother and caddie, Austin Johnson, who shared a great bond with the 28-year-old.

Schaufelle then speaks on the humorous personality of AJ who makes everyone around him laugh. The PGA Tour star added by saying, “Who doesn’t, right? They’re two beauties. AJ is full of one-liners, makes me laugh, and I appreciated that.”

Though LIV Golf has already managed to acquire several of the top PGA Tour stars, we may see more defectors moving to the Saudi-backed Tour in the near future. With this year being just the beginning, LIV Golf wants to become the primary Golf Tour in the world.
