"Poulter would beat Scheffler in PGA-LIV match" | From The Tips Episode 5
A PGA Tour-LIV Golf match? Swilcan Bridge patio? Tips for the Waste Management Phoenix Open? This was all discussed in the latest episode of From The Tips.
Ian Poulter would deliver against Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy would destroy Patrick Reed. These were just some of the predictions as GolfMagic entertained the idea of a PGA Tour-LIV Golf match in the latest episode of From The Tips.
In case you haven't heard, Greg Norman and his lackey Phil Mickelson have called for the two rival circuits to face off.
LIV "boss" Norman believes the event would rival the Super Bowl.
We've got to be honest, Greg, you might need to drop a lawsuit first if you want this to happen.
The idea was posited to Mickelson, 52, last week when he awoke from his social media slumber.
He absolutely loved the prospect and even made a personal dig at his old adversary Tiger Woods in a clear attempt to try and get the ball rolling.
That was after Lefty made perhaps one of the worst "dad jokes" we have ever heard:
Ba dum dum tsssss.

There are some very good matches. Some are just too close to call.
GolfMagic's Editor Andy Roberts and Tour Writer Matt Chivers debated the topic with our presenter Harry Benjamin.
"I don't need to answer that one," Andy said as he predicted McIlroy would stuff Reed 5&4.
What about Scheffler against Mr Ryder Cup himself? "Mouth-watering tie that," added Andy.
He continued:

By the end, there was a clear difference of opinion with regard to the final score.
Matt:
Team PGA Tour 9-3 Team LIV Golf
Andy:
Team PGA Tour 7-5 Team LIV Golf
