With their eligibility up in the air after joining LIV Golf, the two Spaniards still want to play for Team Europe at the upcoming Ryder Cup. There is a time and a place for it.
The latest golfer to criticize members who have been lured to the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV Golf invitational series by lucrative signing bonuses and $25 million purses is Billy Horschel.
During a news conference ahead of the Scottish Open on Tuesday, he said he didn't have ill will toward players who have left but did take exception to some of their comments.
I can't stand to be diplomatic about it because there are a lot of guys that are hypocrites, that aren't telling the truth, that are lying about some things.

"I'm pretty sure they made their bed," he stated. They should play on that tour. They should not be coming back here to play on the PGA Tour. I don't think it's right to say that they wanted to support this tour or the other tours going forward.
The R&A will allow players to play in the 150th Open Championship if they have qualified for the U.S. Open.
Some people are more upset than others in the locker room. I have no ill will, but I'm tired of hearing comments that aren't telling the whole story.
