Team Events, for example, the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup are as it were “harming themselves” by restricting players who pursued LIV Golf, the previous US Open hero Bryson DeChambeau has said.
Players who joined the Saudi-upheld LIV series are as of now not qualified to partake in PGA Visit occasions, including the Presidents Cup and any remaining visits endorsed by the circuit. DeChambeau has played for the US in the past in both the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup yet he will watch the following week’s Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club on television instead.
“I for one think that the group occasions are just harming themselves by not permitting us to play, not permitting us to qualify through some limit, in some feature,” DeChambeau said before the current week’s LIV occasion in Chicago.
“I would agree, from a group perspective, it is miserable that those overseeing bodies have not permitted us to have the option to qualify. That is all I can tell that. I need to play in various occasions on the PGA Visit. It would be great. That is the very thing LIV Golf has attempted to – they have permitted us to play on the PGA Visit. It’s the PGA Visit banning us from doing as such.”
The rewarding LIV series, which considers 12 significant victors as a part of its players, offers $25m handbags in no-cut 54-opening competitions. Be that as it may, pundits say LIV Golf, which is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Venture Asset, adds up to “sportswashing” by a country attempting to work on its standing despite analysis over its basic liberties record.
DeChambeau is one of the complainants in the antitrust claim against the PGA Visit and, however he wouldn’t remark on the claim, he said he had “no purchaser’s regret” over doing the change to LIV Golf. “This is the greatest choice other than picking my representative that I’ve made in all my years and I was unable to be more glad to be here,” he said.
“What LIV Golf has given is something new and extraordinary, unique … there will be some disturbance and individuals won’t care for it. What’s more, I regard everyone that doesn’t believe it’s great for the game of golf.”
