BREAKING: Brandel Chamblee have been sanctioned and removed from telecasts
To say the breaking news of the PGA Tour’s merger with the LIV Golf League caught virtually everyone off guard would be a massive understatement.
Golf Twitter has been ablaze on this Tuesday morning with shock and awe and the reactions have been flying fast and furious.
Since the inception of the PGA Tour vs. LIV debate, there have been a few prominent, outspoken critics of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund-backed breakaway tour, most notably Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch and Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee.
A tweet he posted on May 31, essentially sums up his long-held view of LIV golf:
Chamblee has made his position clear time and again
As I have said many times, LIV Golf is not so much a sports entity as it is MBS / Saudi Arabia trying to hide their atrocities and launder its reputation by buying sports stars. Any yielding to or agreement with them is a deal with a murderous dictator.
Chamblee’s last tweet before merger news
Chamblee’s last Tweet on record pertaining to the situation was posted on June 2 as part of a continued thread about Phil Mickelson in particular and Chamblee’s efforts to get Lefty to join the Golf Channel set to discuss on live TV the state of affairs.
