LIV Golf dispute claims made by PGA of America CEO: "They haven't responded!"
LIV Golf have claimed they are the ones being given the cold shoulder, per a report.
PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh revealed he was pleased with the civility between LIV Golf players and PGA Tour stars at the 87th Masters - but that didn't stop him from fanning the flames and making one interesting claim about the breakaway tour's quest for world ranking points.
That claim? That those at the Official World Golf Ranking are waiting to hear back from the breakaway tour led by Greg Norman.
Apparently, that is not the case according to a LIV Golf spokesperson, who told Sports Illustrated:
Waugh, speaking before the PGA Championship, stated that those at LIV were misguided in their belief that their application would be resolved swiftly.
It has always been the case that those asking the OWGR for accreditation have to wait up to a year, he said.

What Waugh said:
Waugh also slammed LIV's business model, saying that he didn't believe people cared about the team aspect.
"They can fund it for as long as they want to, but no matter how much money you have, at some point burning it doesn't feel very good. I don't see they are accomplishing much," he said.
