LIV Golf Series faces an uphill task of winning over people ahead of the season finale
Ever since the initiation of LIV Golf, things have been revolving at a great pace for the people involved. Fans have also been actively engaged in this tussle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The fight does not seem to end anytime soon, and players from both sides are not shying away from speaking their own perception of what the truth is.
Recently, a LIV Golf Defector spoke up against these so-called ‘Keyboard Warriors.’ He boldly drew a comparison between the same players playing in the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The pro golfer gave a reality check of sorts to all those speaking up on the issue without having appropriate facts, according to him.

According to LIV Golf’s Matt Jones, players are working harder on their games now than they did on the PGA Tour. Matt is one of the very few golfers still engaged with the antitrust lawsuit filed against the PGA Tour.
Jones said, “I would say don’t speak until you’ve come out here and experienced it. There are plenty of keyboard warriors out there who sit behind a computer and judge everything people do for a living without getting out and experiencing it.

The schism between LIV Golf and the Official World Golf Rankings is still present. Recently, a LIV golfer decided to express his thoughts on the subject.
Graeme McDowell was the player in question. He is a Northern Irish professional golfer. He has four PGA Tour victories and eleven European Tour victories, including the 2010 U.S. Open. One major championship and the Pebble Beach Open.
McDowell voiced his thoughts on the LIV Golf controversy. He said, “The word ‘official’ has to go away from OWGR if they don’t take care of the players out here. The longer this goes on, we have a huge amount of deterioration in the current world ranking points for the guys out here. So we are just getting hurt the longer this game gets played.”
The pro golfer was straightforward and blunt in his opinion. Twitter received this news in diverse ways, as always. However, we still do not know what the next step will be on this issue.
