I mean, the league was started from scratch; we can do what we want.”

Apart from discussing the probable changes in the Saudi League format, Watson also shed light on some other crucial issues. The LIV golfer talked about the kind of role that skippers play in team selection. He shared that they have a credible say in the team selection.

So we can do whatever we want.” Well, it looks like LIV has a bag full of surprises for the upcoming season. With its inclusion of high-profile players such as Jon Rahm, it must do something to keep things interesting.
