Rumors of Tiger Woods & Co’s ‘Bad Blood’ With LIV Golfers Confirmed by US Open Winner

The ongoing tension between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour continues to draw attention, with rumors of “bad blood” between players confirmed by recent statements from Matt Fitzpatrick, a U.S. Open winner. Fitzpatrick acknowledged that some PGA Tour players, including stars like Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods,

still harbor resentment towards LIV Golfers, particularly regarding the fairness of their lucrative earnings. Despite the merger between the two tours, the underlying hostility remains unresolved. Fitzpatrick’s remarks highlight the lingering unease among players who feel the merger disproportionately benefits those who left for the Saudi-backed league.

However, there seems to be some softening of views among key figures. McIlroy, initially one of the harshest critics of LIV Golf, recently expressed a more conciliatory tone, noting that both tours ultimately aim for the same goals.

Fitzpatrick also admitted a change of heart, recognizing that while he initially opposed LIV Golfers playing in both tournaments, he now feels less concerned and more focused on his own game. Despite the tensions, events like the joint tournament at the Dunhill Golf Links indicate that progress toward a unified future for professional golf is slowly being made.
