Netizens are pumped for the new potential chapter in PGA-Tour and LIV Golf’s future
Well, golf fans are known to be skeptical of things, and rightly so, given the sport’s rich history and tradition. For instance, when the Match between Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler set to take on Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau was announced, many fans were initially hesitant, wondering if it would live up to the hype. But as the event drew closer, and the excitement began to build, even the most skeptical of fans couldn’t help but get caught up in the anticipation. Now one would have expected the same reaction to the Ryder Cup thing as well, but as it turns out fans are pretty excited.
“Oh yes!”, wrote one fan while the other said, “We’ve been begging for this 🙌🏼”. See now, while fans did want the LIV Golfers to be part of the Ryder Cup team, it wasn’t official for them to join the tournament until this year when the PGA of America announced that LIV Golf players are indeed eligible to compete in both the PGA Championship and the U.S. Ryder Cup teams going forward. This decision clears the way for LIV golfers like reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau to join the U.S. team, and it’s consistent with the past two years, where LIV Golf players have competed in the PGA Championship.

“Brilliant idea”, said another fan, and well, frankly it is. Ryder Cup is already a house of excitement and you’re saying we can see everyone’s favorite LIV golfers as well. Sign us up! “That would be cool”, said one fan while the other said, “That’s what we’ve been wanting!” Well, while there is no doubt that it would be absolutely cool to see a unified golf tour, nothing has been confirmed yet. But what is confirmed is the upcoming “Match” between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, representing LIV Golf, and Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, representing the PGA Tour. Ahead of this highly anticipated event, Koepka and DeChambeau have been heaping praise on each other, with Koepka describing DeChambeau as “quirky, opinionated, but very passionate, very driven, and very hard-working”, while DeChambeau has been complimentary of Koepka’s work ethic, noting that they share similar practice routines.
