Most of the world’s greatest golf stars are in England this week for the BMW PGA Championship, together with over a dozen who've fled the PGA Tour for the Saudi-backed LIV. Billy Horschel, the occasion’s defending champion, has been extremely vital of their determination to play – and it seems it wasn’t simply all media speak.
Horschel was seen arguing with Ian Poulter, one of many LIV defectors, on the placing inexperienced at Wentworth Golf Membership on Wednesday.
It’s unclear what was mentioned, however one can use their creativeness given the animated physique language from each gamers. Horschel has spent a lot of the lead-up to this occasion, the primary that has blended LIV and PGA Tour golfers, which is run by Europe’s DP World Tour, ripping those that joined LIV for enjoying on this event.
“The fellows which have publicly acknowledged they wish to play much less, these are the hypocrites,” Horschel mentioned Tuesday. “It’s not each considered one of them. And there are just a few of these hypocrites right here this week as a result of they wished to play much less however they're enjoying one other occasion that’s not a LIV occasion.
“I actually don’t suppose that the American guys who haven’t supported the Tour ought to be right here. Abraham Ancer, Talor Gooch. … you’ve by no means performed this event, you’ve by no means supported the DP World Tour. Why are you right here? You're right here for one cause solely and that’s to attempt to get world rating factors since you don’t have it.”
Horschel didn't particularly name out the Englishman Poulter, however the feedback mirrored negatively on any LIV Golf defector.
