Phil is excited about joining the golf tour. The time has come.
The city of St. is located in the northeastern part of the United States The 15-time major champion said those who joined the break-away series had turned their backs on what allowed them to get to this position.
He shot even-par in his first round.
Woods disagreed with it when asked about it. I think that they have turned their back on the things that allowed them to get to this point.
Lefty said he respected his opinion. I have admiration for him. I think his opinion is correct. Everyone is going to have strong feelings about it, and I respect his opinion.
The Monday's celebrations of champion and Tuesday's champion's dinner were not attended by Lefty. The previous winners of The Open were invited, but Phil was not one of them.
The R&A contacted me a couple weeks before and said, "Look, we don't think it's a great idea, but if you want to, you can." I didn't want to make a big deal about it. It would be best if I didn't.
The Masters and thePGA Championship champion's dinners were missed by Lefty.
Despite the behind-the-scenes disagreements over the future of the sport after the introduction of LIV Golf, Lefty said he "Couldn't be happier" with his decision to join the new series, which is being funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
Lefty said he made the right decision. I'm excited about having the chance to play competitive golf and have it in my life in a more moderate scale where I can do some things outside of that. I freed up a lot of time and other things.
I couldn't be more happy." I think it has been great. I'll be playing another event in New Jersey. From a player's perspective, the experience of those events is a 10. It's the best you can get. My job is not to explain or help you comprehend. I couldn't be more happy.
Ian Poulter, who also plays in the LIV series, was booed by a small group of spectators on the first tee at St. When asked about the booing, he said he didn't hear it.
"I thought I got a good reception on the first tee," he said. I didn't hear any clapping.
He said he had not read any comments from the R&A this week. He hopes the differences can be solved.
"I would hope so, but clever people are at the top of the tree than I am," he said. At fifteen, I left school. I would think people could figure it out.
There was no animosity from his fellow pros despite high-profile golfer like Woods speaking out against the series.
"I've had great conversations with everyone," he said. They're my friends even though we might disagree. You've been playing golf with these guys for a long time and you've been on many teams with them.
If they disagree with one another, that's all. All of us have opinions. Wherever you are playing golf, we are still friends.
