The golf world has been seeing tons of surprises since LIV Golf came into existence. The new Saudi-backed tour has now officially become a tough competition for the PGA Tour. And due to the consistent banter between the two leagues, fans are now choosing sides. However, a recent tweet has raised some serious questions about the credibility of the league’s fandom.

It is not uncommon for people to use bot accounts or fake profiles on social media to receive their desired publicity. However, for a huge league like LIV to be accused of doing such a thing strikes a controversy. No Laying Up recently posted a picture of a tweet that LIV Golf reshared from a fan’s account. However, it turned out that the fan’s account was created only a few days back and had just one tweet.

The screenshot of the profile was also shared on Twitter and it has left fans with numerous unanswered questions. If it is a fake account created by LIV Golf, or if it is an actual fan. People are currently taking guesses in the comments section. But it has definitely put the new league in the fans’ eyes for some time. Another reason for fans to believe that the fan account is fake is that LIV has been struggling to receive the publicity they desire. And on the other hand, the PGA Tour already has its deals with media rights with various companies.

It seems like there's more fans of LIV on Twitter than there are actual viewers of LIV events.

And on the other hand, some even said they didn’t care about LIV Golf at all. A fan even said that he forgot about the league until he saw this tweet.
Everyone is different. Cause I honestly forgot a LIV event was going on until I saw this tweet. Yet I’ve been filling Fortinet pretty closely
