The LIV Golf league has been receiving criticism from fans all over the world since it came into existence. Norman has successfully convinced the most talented players on the PGA Tour to join the new Saudi circuit. However, it is not just the fans who talk wrongly about the new league, but also some players. And adding to that list of players was Billy Horschel, who recently gave a bold statement about the LIV Golf players. But as it turned out, golf fans didn’t let him get away with his words easily.

Horschel has made several statements about the LIV Golf players recently during the BMW PGA Championship. He even called the LIV golfers “hypocritical” for appearing at the event after players said they wanted to play less golf. His statements also targeted a few players personally, including Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood.

Horschel directly pointed them out and said that players like them shouldn’t be at the tournament.

However, he somehow slipped away from any reactions to those statements. But it wasn’t long before he decided to take another blow at the LIV Golf players. In his recent comments about the LIV Golf defectors, Horschel said, “I only made the team because the LIV Guys left the tour”. He added, “Those are just people that don’t know what the F they’re talking about”.

No matter if Horschel is right about what he said or not, but something that most golf fans seemed to agree with was that Horschel was only on the team because LIV Golf players were not allowed to play. There hasn’t been any response from Horschel to the criticism he has received yet.
