CBS commentator blasts inaccurate claims over Lefty, LIV Golf players
Trevor Immelman has defended Masters coverage of LIV Golf players before the PGA Championship.
Trevor Immelman says he 'did some research' after there were some claims LIV Golf players were shaded during the coverage of the 87th Masters.
Immelman is back in the booth with CBS this week for the PGA Championship.
As many as 16 LIV players are in the field. There were 18 but Martin Kaymer and Paul Casey withdrew.
GolfMagic has ranked each breakaway tour player in the field at Oak Hill, assessing each competitor's chances.
Unsurprisingly, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith represent LIV players' best hopes of major championship glory according to the bookmakers.
And you can't rule out Phil Mickelson either.
Koepka was at the receiving end of a comment from Jim Nantz when he was playing at Augusta National.
His golf ball ended up on the crosswalk and Nantz felt it was the opportune time to make what he later described as a 'cheeky, whimsical' comment about LIV's U.S. TV partner The CW.

As for Immelman, he told Sports Illustrated's Gabrielle Herzig that his interpretation was that they did 'a great job' and batted away suggestions they did not cover Mickelson's round properly.

The aforementioned Koepka reflected on his Masters performance before teeing it up at Oak Hill, conceding that he did 'choke' as Jon Rahm rose to the moment.

These days, he assumes the position of content manager.
