In his message on social media, Brandel Chamblee gave special praise to the individuals who rejected LIV Golf’s offer and decided to stay on the PGA Tour. Since the creation of LIV, Chamblee has been one of the biggest critics of the Tour of the same name.
Despite receiving lucrative offers, which could have potentially secured their financial future, they chose to uphold tradition and maintain their loyalty to the PGA Tour.
“As a Texan, I’m well aware of my bias, but bias withstanding, not enough can be said about the Texans who turned down the crazy millions to join LIV.
Grateful to PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth who helped ensure the history of the PGA Tour by turning down tens of millions, but especially to Will Zalatoris, who as an injured but rising potential superstar told the Saudis (MBS) to stuff their 130 million dollar offer because he wanted to be, not only on the right side of history, to create an inspiring legacy.
In addition to Zalatoris, the Coody brothers, Pierceson and Parker, turned down multimillion dollar and potentially life changing offers because they believed legacy has more currency than hypocrisy”. – Chamblee said.
Brandlee Chamblee on Saudis
Chamblee was harsh in criticizing the Saudis and their policies. Chamblee believes that by creating LIV Golf, the Saudis wanted to ‘hide’ their dirty deeds. However, this golf analyst does not support them for many reasons, and one of the reasons is the insufficient rights of women.
“The Saudis (MBS) want to use golf to launder their reputation but perhaps as much or more, to use golf as a crutch to diversify their economy that is almost solely based upon petroleum but largely hindered by their subjugation and some would argue their enslavement of women, which truncates their intellectual and entrepreneurial development.
They want to use golf as a vehicle for economic expansion, to obviate the necessity of modernizing their archaic and medieval views about women, which obviously hinders their economic expansion”. Source: Golfmonthly.com
