Brendan Steele said he wasn't interested in joining LIV Golf just 10 weeks ago. Now, reports have surfaced that he is defecting to the Saudi-backed tour.
Steele’s situation is just another reminder of how wild professional golf has been the last year or so. LIV Golf has created a power struggle with the PGA Tour, something that hasn’t been seen before in any sport.
Even Steele is aware that professional golf has"divided the tour and divided some of the best players in the world." Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson are on the LIV Tour, and that’s created an interesting dynamic considering they are some of the best in the world, yet their decision rubs guys like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy the wrong way.
Brendan Steele of the United States reacts after a putt on the 18th green of the South Course during the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course on January 26, 2023, in La Jolla, California. However, players like Johnson, who defected, will be allowed to play in majors this year after originally not being able to participate. It will surely be a topic of conversation when The Masters kicks offLike many that have jumped to LIV Golf, Steele seems to have understood the financial benefits of guaranteed money.
