‘They Will All Choke’: Veteran LIV Golf Rebel Slams PGA Tour ‘Hypocrites’ With Vehement Criticism

Lee John Westwood, an English professional golfer, is famous for his consistency. He has won tournaments on five different continents – Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

Lee Westwood and his honest take on LIV Golf

The rivalry of the PGA tour and LIV Golf is not ending soon. After players shifting to LIV for better offers and left behind PGA, the PGA has made some changes. There have been multi-million modifications to the PGA tour’s top end structure. Now one can imagine how the players must feel who lost PGA membership because they chose LIV.

The players are busy in their legal fights to keep their PGA membership, but Lee Westwood is not one of them. While speaking to Golf Digest, he expressed his true feelings.

The former No.1, unlike other LIV Golf players, does not want to fight. He wants to travel less and play less, as his 50th birthday is in April next year. He wants to relax and not get caught up in the conflict.

Lee calls out hypocrisy of PGA Tour

After the announcement of the PGA tour changes, the golf world is reacting in all forms. Some are negative and some are positives. But Lee went for honesty. He does not find any difference in LIV Golf and the PGA tour. In fact, he called it hypocrisy.

Talking to Golf Digest, he said, “I laugh at what the PGA Tour players have come up with. It’s just a copy of what LIV is doing. There are a lot of hypocrites out there. They all say LIV is ‘not competitive.’ “They all point at the no-cut aspect of LIV and the short fields. Now, funnily enough, they are proposing 20 events that look a lot like LIV. Hopefully, at some point they will all choke on their words. And hopefully, they will be held to account as we were in the early days.”
