The 79- year-old feels that people have the right to do whatever they want. And according to him, turning down such good offers from LIV would be foolish. “Guys that were offered a lot of money, I would say you would be a fool to turn it down,” he added.

However, he wants people to understand the fact that every decision they take, whether it’s in golf or in life, they are bound to have some consequences. Additionally, Harmon has no grievances with players who left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. “The guys that left the PGA Tour to go play in LIV, I have no problem with it.”

He understands that these players were not happy with the PGA Tour. And thought they weren’t going to get a chance to play here, so they chose to leave.

Harmon is not a fan of the feud 

The former golf commentator believes the focus of everyone should be on golf. It shouldn’t matter whether it’s the PGA Tour or LIV Golf. “I think we just need to play golf.”

He strongly discourages the series of verbal spats and Twitter feuds that have been going on between the organizations and their players. But, he does appreciate the players who have taken a stand for the PGA Tour.
