PGA Tour winner continues relentless criticism of LIV Golf players
One-time PGA Tour winner and Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee continues to bash LIV Golf.
The PGA Tour might be on the verge of striking a deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (maybe, who knows?!), but that has not prevented Brandel Chamblee from once again ripping into a number of LIV Golf players this season.
One-time PGA Tour winner Chamblee, 61, has arguably been the strongest critic of all things Saudi Arabia since LIV Golf emerged on the scene in 2022.
Despite the PGA Tour's ongoing framework agreement deal with LIV Golf's bankrollers, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), lingering on in the background, the Golf Channel host still cannot resist firing shots at the Kingdom's business in the sport.
Chamblee was responding to a number of questions from golf fans on Twitter over the weekend, one of which involved the subject of LIV's latest arrival Anthony Kim, who finished dead last on debut at Jeddah.
While it is unknown exactly how much LIV Golf paid for Kim's services, the former US Ryder Cup star and three-time winner has been handed an exemption to compete in all remaining tournaments this season.
Chamblee, who won the 1998 Greater Vancouver Open champion, also took aim at Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia.

He could have earned his way back onto the PGA Tour… the place where he originally earned his celebrity status, but he chose the easier rout of being paid to support a tyrannical dictator.

Is it really that hard to decide whether to support one of the biggest supporters/exporters of Wahhabism and worst oppressors of women and gays and a man who murders, jails and intimidates all dissenters who wants to buy all the success and sports of the west and pretend he’s a… https://t.co/Nd9cFXCHz1

I appreciate the question, but I honestly feel like that is akin to asking Mrs. Lincoln how she liked the play…. LIV Golf is a sad backdrop to the horrific atrocities that take place every day under the direction of the man who foots the bill for LIV to help distract from his… https://t.co/jk3UwbPMgS

Both play for a dictatorial murderer. https://t.co/L4RRyLxft2
