The Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour has generated a lot of emotion over the last two weeks. This is due to the fact that some major golfers have joined the tour and have been suspended from all PGA Tour events.
Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Bryson Dechambeau are just a few of the golfers who have caused controversy in the golf world and received the huge payday of LIV.
On Friday, NBA Hall of Fame and TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley told the Pat McAfee Show that he was rooting for the turmoil at the US Open.
“I want all the LIV guys on the leaderboard,” Berkeley said when asked about the US Open this weekend. “I want to see the PGA Tour rocking in their d–n boots. Listen, I’m not a religious guy, but I want to get confused at the US Open this weekend.”

“I don’t judge others,” Berkeley said. “Listen, if someone gives me $ 200 million, I’ll kill my relatives.”

“I was able to foresee the day,” ESPN said on Wednesday. “Do you know what that day is like? No, I don’t know. To be honest, what we are talking about [LIV Golf] Unlike two years ago, two months ago was different from what it is today.I think because we have been doing this for 127 years [the USGA] You need to look at this in the long run to see where these go. So you don’t get a kneeling reaction to what we’re doing. “
