The former pro golfer is excited to see what would happen at LIV Golf after many executives have jumped ship. “It’s gonna be such an interesting year for the LIV Tour because there have been so many changes where people at higher management have now left,” Spiranac said.
Moreover, the silence from Greg Norman and even the players ahead of the tour is unexpected. “It’s been a bit quieter than it was last year”. Last year the 2 time major winner was ready to compete with the PGA Tour, but this time there is an uncanny silence. Despite this, Spiranac remains optimistic and is waiting for the conversations and engagements to start again.
Additionally, she is anxious to see if any more players will switch to LIV Golf. Or has the PGA Tour won the battle? “The PGA Tour is really starting to establish their dominance?”
The interesting thing is that the players who were speculated to leave have publicly pledged allegiance with the PGA Tour.
