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.
He continued, “If there are people judging this from what they see on YouTube and LIV TV, it would be better to come out here and experience it.”
Matt did not shy away from calling all the online trolls to the course. He challenged them to experience the reality of the situation before making strong statements. The pro golfer gave a bold statement to all these ‘Keyboard Warriors.’

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.”
