Report: One of LIV Golf's harshest critics is quitting the Middle East!
The golfer has also confirmed he's given up booze.
LIV Golf has had a number of critics, but would it be unreasonable to suggest Eddie Pepperell has been one of the harshest?
Since the rival league disrupted the status quo in men's professional golf last June, the Englishman has not been shy in offering his thoughts.
He went after Henrik Stenson when the Swede decided to join LIV Golf. It was a decision that led to the 2016 Open winner being sacked as Ryder Cup captain.
"Henrik, just be honest, it was a bucket load of cash and you couldn't resist it, like the rest of the guys," Pepperell wrote on Twitter in response to the Swede's lengthy statement about his decision to join his other 'rebels'.
Elsewhere, Pepperell has called out Sergio Garcia, labelling the Spaniard as 'pathetic' and spoke of his disappointment in seeing stalwarts such as Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter bolt to the Saudi-backed league.
These Ryder Cup legends are reportedly now going to resign their memberships with their home circuit.
Pepperell previously said:
It got to the point where Pepperell even starred in a hilarious spoof video, taking the right royal p*** out of the enormous fees the golfers have received for their services on LIV.
Things were complicated a little bit too as Pepperell's good friend Laurie Canter also played in LIV Golf events.
Things were awkward for a while, the Englishman told The Telegraph's Tom Cary.

Pepperell was also involved in a fiery exchange on social media with another LIV player, Richard Bland, a few weeks ago.
Bland said he was intoxicated and apologised but he has since deleted his Twitter. Pepperell told the publication that he didn't mean to cause a pile-on.
Aside from LIV, Pepperell has confirmed that he is ditching playing in the Middle East.
He told the publication of his 38 top-10 finishes in his career, 33 have been in Europe. Other than winning in Qatar in 2018, he's never played well in the desert, he said.
Pepperell added:
Elsewhere, the Englishman has confirmed that he's given up booze.
Ben joined the GolfMagic team in September 2021, initially as a content executive.
These days, he assumes the position of content manager.
