PGA Tour prospect delivers his verdict on LIV Golf League: "It's GREAT!"

The World No. 53 conceded that it saddens him the "talent pool's split a little bit" but he never really gives the enduring topic much thought unless he's asked questions about it.

He has already notched two top-10 finishes this season, which came at the ZOZO Championship in Japan and the Fortinet Championship.
