Philip ReidPádraig Harrington has expressed surprise that those players who defected from the DP World Tour to the start-up LIV Golf Series have reacted with the threat of legal action to the fines and bans imposed on them.
Harrington’s comments came following the issuing of a statement issued by the DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley in response to a letter sent to the tour by players who had defected from the tour to join the Saudi Arabia moneyed LIV series.“Before joining LIV Golf, players knew there would be consequences if they chose money over competition. Many of them at the time understood and accepted that.
“We also take great exception to an allegation made near the end of the letter which states we are somehow playing ‘second fiddle’ to the PGA Tour. Nothing could be further from the truth. “One of those is an unprecedented 10 cards on offer to the PGA Tour, cards that many of the players named in this letter desperately wanted to attain in the early stages of their careers. Why now be critical of those trying to do the same?”
