PGA Tour Loyalist Justin Thomas Takes a Sharp Dig at Greg Norman and LIV Golf

Former world No. 1, Justin Thomas, is an inspiration to many young golfers. The 29-year-old plays on the PGA Tour and has set many records. He also won the PGA Championship earlier this year. Thomas recently returned to his hometown to host the seventh Justin Thomas Junior Championship at the Harmony Landing Country Club. Meanwhile, he posted a picture on his Twitter account that took a turn after a fan noticed something unusual.

Justin Thomas posts a picture of his kids’ locker

Thomas recently posted a picture of his kids’ locker with the caption, “It’s almost time for @AJGAGolf #JustinThomasJr! The kids lockers are stocked and ready to go”. It was not long before an eagle-eyed fan spotted a few “LIV PUR nutrition bars” in the bottom left corner of the picture. The fan immediately pointed out and wrote, “LIV sending gifts too”. And Justin Thomas knew how to respond just in the right way.

Thomas replied, “Nah that’s from me. I have intentions of actually growing the game”, pressing a taunt at the LIV Golf. Justin Thomas has been a loyal supporter of the PGA Tour and said that it was once his dream to play in PGA events. The golfer certainly made it clear that he has no intentions of providing any support to the new Saudi-backed league.

Thomas calls out LIV Golf players for being dishonest

According to Justin Thomas, most players who transitioned to the LIV Golf Tour, have not been honest about their reasons to join the new league. He said, “I just wish one of them would have the balls to say ‘I’m doing this for the money.'” He also mentioned that the thought of what has been happening in the golf world has not left his mind.

Bryson DeChambeau, however, has been the most honest about his reasons to join the Saudi-backed tour. The player said it was “a business decision” instead of calling it a better format like some other golfers. LIV has been successful in luring out some of the most talented athletes in the field of golf. Only time will tell how many more have yet to turn their backs on the PGA Tour.
