“Got Six Messages From Six Different Players”: Amid the $3,000,000,000 Merger Chaos, LIV Golf Defector Makes a Staggering Revelation

The morning of a regular Tuesday on June 6, 2023, became tremendously consequential due to the announcement of golf’s biggest-ever merger. The sudden decision captivated fans and players alike, many of whom were bewildered by the judgment.

Thus began a series of grumbles and grievances from PGA TOUR loyalists, many of whom felt cheated by Commissioner Jay Monahan and his team. On the other side, a reassured LIV golfer was treated with a handful of messages, details of which make for a staggering revelation.

The latest revelation from a LIV golfer further cements that theory. Captain of LIV side Cleeks GC, two-time major championship winner Martin Kaymer, has divulged some key details from the evening of the merger.

“That evening I got six messages from six different players on the DP World Tour wondering if there was a future for them on LIV,” Kaymer revealed. “I think you will be surprised how many players want to play all different Tours.”

While the German saved the suspense of revealing the players’ identity for some other time, it resonates well with the emotions around the PGA TOUR. Some of the most high-profile names had allegedly refused to join the LIV Golf Series last year, including a certain Tiger Woods.

While the details of the offer were never shared by Woods or his entourage, various media outlets reported that a figure in the high-nine figures was offered to the legendary golfer. The proposal was also discussed by LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman in an interaction, who confirmed the accuracy of the figure.

Yet, the 47-year-old took his stand as a PGA TOUR loyalist, a decision he might have regretted after the announcement of the merger. But after Kaymer’s revelation, do you think more players will be willing to switch their allegiances to the LIV Golf Series? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
