Colin Montgomerie: "Some are saying I wish LIV Golf had a Champions Tour 4-ball"
Colin Montgomerie also gives his verdict on LIV Golf's Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter never becoming a Ryder Cup captain.
Colin Montgomerie has revealed there are a number of players on the PGA Tour Champions wishing LIV Golf would introduce an over 50s four-ball, following an interview with Golfweek.
Montgomerie, 59, did not say he was one of those players, but at the same time he could not answer how much it would have taken for him to have signed on had he been approached by the Saudi-bankrolled golf league in his prime.
We can only assume Fred Couples most definitely isn't one of the Champions Tour players contemplating a move to LIV Golf.
Couples recently laughed at LIV Golf over the amount of money they paid Phil Mickelson, before calling him a 'nutbag'.
Ernie Els also strongly criticised the South African contingent of LIV Golf League players, expressing his disappointment with how they disrupted the game.

Montgomerie not only touched on the levels of interest of LIV Golf over on the PGA Tour Champions right now, but he also offered thoughts on the likes of Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter now being out the running as future European Ryder Cup captains as a result of their resignations from the DP World Tour last week.
The record eight-time European Tour Order of Merit winner and victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup captain spoke about a number of golfing topics to Golfweek, which you can read in full here, but it was his comments about LIV Golf and the Ryder Cup that interested us most.
