Scheffler Points Finger at LIV Golfers for Golf's Ongoing Division, Maintains PGA Tour Superiority
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler firmly places responsibility for golf's current division on LIV Golf players, while maintaining the PGA Tour's competitive superiority. Speaking during his pre-Masters press conference, Scheffler expressed that those who left for LIV Golf knew the consequences of their decisions.
"If we want to figure out why the game of golf is not back together, go ask those guys," Scheffler stated, though emphasizing he holds no ill will toward the departing players.
