Tiger Woods has stated many times that LIV Golf is a bad thing and that the PGA Tour is the right choice. His longtime friend, Bryson DeChambeau, who has not communicated with Woods for a long time, more precisely since he became part of the LIV Golf price, had something to say about Woods: “I have high regard for Tiger; look, this wouldn’t be existing if it weren’t for Tiger,’’ DeChambeau said Thursday, as quoted by theolympian.
DeChambeau respects all that Woods has done for golf. “So I have the utmost respect for what he did for the game of golf, what he did for the PGA Tour that allowed us to have this opportunity.’’ A few months ago, Woods commented on the decision of some players to play at LIV Golf: “What these players are doing for guaranteed money, what is the incentive to practice? What is the incentive to go out there and earn it in the dirt? You’re just getting paid a lot of money up front and playing a few events and playing 54 holes.
They’re playing blaring music and have all these atmospheres that are different. I don’t see how that move is positive for a lot of these players in the long term.’’
DeChambeau’s reaction
DeChambeau still respects Woods and what he said.
He will work hard to prove his worth. “I have ultimate respect for what he has to say,’’ DeChambeau said. “For me personally, to be my own human being, I’m going to work even harder to prove the fact that I’m worth that price.
“We have been fairly close and unfortunately we have not spoken, one day we will again, and I am always open for a conversation with anybody. I have no problem with it and I hope we can come see eye to eye on it.’’
