I don't know whether they're contractually advised to say: oh, it's about the golf, because poulter was quite a straight-talking guy and he you know from interview to say: you think he just can't be allowed to say it's just about the money.
What happens when a new golfing tour backed by serious Saudi investment shakes up the traditional golf world? Stuart Butler and his old squash partner, Sam Killip, tackle this very question in this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate'. They dive into the controversial LIV Golf tour, an 8-event series that has attracted big names like Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood.
While these golfers claim they’re free agents just looking for new opportunities, many in the golfing community suspect it's a classic case of sports washing. Is LIV Golf really about growing the sport, or is it just padding personal bank accounts? Stuart and Sam explore both sides of the argument, discussing how this new tour impacts the PGA Tour, Ryder Cup, and European Tour.
With candid opinions from top golfers and a healthy dose of skepticism, this episode offers a deep look into the future of professional golf. Whether you’re a die-hard golf fan or just curious about the latest sports controversy, this chat will give you plenty to think about.
