READ: $40M Worth LIV Golf Rebel Gets Into Lengthy War of Words With Fellow Tour Pro

Since making it public, the decision to secure the top non-LIV golfers to play at least 20 competitions has been widely debated. This has led to widespread arguments on social media, and one such incident cropped up yesterday between LIV golfer, Lee Westwood, and DP Tour pro, Eddie Pepperell.

What started the dispute between the two golfers?

It all started after Jon Rahm’s reaction to the announcement of the mandatory 20 events went viral on social media. The confused response of one of the top golfers on the planet left fans wondering about the transparency between the game’s elite.

Among those who reacted to it was LIV golfer, Lee Westwood. The former World No.1 cashed in on Rahm’s uncertainty and questioned the organizing tours on their decision.

He also raised the question of how a top player like Rahm wasn’t at the center of these decisions after the unofficial meeting ahead of the recently concluded BMW Championship in Delaware, of which Jon Rahm was a part.

The Lee Westwood and Eddie Pepperell banter

Westwood continued posting an array of tweets on the same issue, which prompted DP Tour golfer, Eddie Pepperell to step in.

In the world of the internet and social media, Pepperell is a gem. Despite not securing any major titles in his brief golf career so far, he has found his calling with his wit and humor on social media, which has resulted in rising popularity among golf circles.

The dispute started when Westwood claimed that the 20 ‘compulsory’ events decision must have been covered in the “strategic alliance” meeting in Delaware a fortnight ago. On this, Pepperell asked for secrecy since the details of the meeting have been uncorroborated so far.

Replying to Eddie’s tweet, Westwood questions whether he’s not allowed to express his opinion on Twitter, to which the latter agrees on the perspective but would have rather wished him to witness the whole drama from a distance.

There were wordy discussions on what was said and done, but one thing was unanimously agreed upon between the two – that DP Tour was nowhere near the PGA and other big Tours, and needed some rectifying in the near future.
