Lee Westwood claims the only losers in the ongoing dispute between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour are the watching fans.
The Brit, a two-time Masters runner-up and former No 1 golfer in the world is at the Newport Country Club this week for the US Senior Open, making his over-50 tour debut a year late in part because of a PGA Tour ban on LIV Golf defectors. The 51-year-old received an invite to the Senior Open, which is run by the USGA, as a recent Ryder Cup participant. Richard Bland has also earned an invitation for winning the Senior PGA Championship. The only other LIV golfer over 50 is Phil Mickelson.
The PGA Tour's policy is that LIV golfers have to wait one year from their last appearance on the Saudi-backed circuit to play in PGA Tour or PGA Tour Champions events. In addition, the European tour has fined Westwood £850,000 - a fine he repeated on Tuesday he has no intention of paying. 'We'll have to find a way around that,' he said. 'At any level, it's disappointing they can't resolve it.
