Scottie Scheffler, the two-time Masters Champion and world number one, recently voiced strong opinions regarding the players who have joined the LIV Golf Tour.
Known for his steady rise and grounded approach, Scheffler did not hold back when addressing the ongoing rift within professional golf caused by the emergence of the Saudi-backed LIV Tour.

Speaking candidly about the situation, Scheffler said, “It’s disappointing. I don’t have much respect for those guys.”
His remarks highlight the frustration many established players feel about the disruption to the traditional golf circuit. Scheffler’s comments come amid a tumultuous period for the sport as the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continue to clash over players’ loyalty, tournament scheduling, and the future direction of professional golf.

The LIV Tour, launched in 2022 with significant financial backing, has attracted several high-profile names from the PGA Tour by offering lucrative contracts and prize money.
However, this breakaway league has been widely criticized for its ties to Saudi Arabia and for fracturing the competitive landscape of golf. Fans and players alike have expressed concern about the integrity and unity of the sport.
The growing tensions between tours
Scheffler’s pointed comments underscore the ongoing tension between the two tours. While LIV Golf markets itself as a more player-centric and innovative alternative, many traditionalists argue it undermines the longstanding values and competitive traditions of professional golf.
Scheffler emphasized the importance of commitment to the established tour, saying, “Golf is a sport of respect and tradition, and you can’t just walk away from that.”
This schism has led to heated debates about the long-term impact on the game, with questions surrounding player eligibility for major championships and Ryder Cup participation. The PGA Tour has responded by suspending players who defect to LIV Golf, deepening the divide.
Despite the controversy, Scheffler remains focused on his own game and representing the PGA Tour with pride. “I’m just going to keep grinding and competing where I’m at,” he said. His dedication to the traditional tour reflects the views of many players who see LIV Golf as a threat rather than an opportunity.
The emergence of the LIV Tour has undoubtedly shaken the professional golf world. Yet, as Scheffler’s remarks make clear, not all players welcome the changes it brings. For now, the sport is grappling with this internal conflict as it seeks a path forward that preserves its heritage while adapting to new challenges.
With the 2025 season underway, eyes will remain on how this rivalry evolves and whether the golfing community can find common ground amid these turbulent times.
