Arrr! The swashbucklin' PGA Tour golfer Scottie Scheffler be takin' a mighty swing at LIV Golf on a Tuesday, as The Players Championship be settin' sail in Florida later this week. May his putts be as straight as a pirate's cutlass!
In the midst of the PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan expressing hope for a deal with the Saudi backers of the renegade LIV Golf series, Scottie Scheffler pointed fingers at those who defected. Scheffler and other golfers gathered in Florida for The Players Championship, missing top players who left for LIV Golf. The defending TPC champion shrugged off fan furor, stating that the tournament won't feature the best players."If the fans are upset, then look at the guys that left," Scheffler said. Despite not criticizing those who took LIV's money, he emphasized building the best product with the remaining players. Monahan expressed confidence in reaching a deal with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia to move the sport forward.While negotiations progress, details remain private. The tournament still boasts notable players like Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth. The first round tees off on Thursday, promising an exciting start to the tournament. The golf world eagerly awaits the outcome of these developments, hoping for a resolution that benefits the sport's future.
