Billy Horschel Slams ‘Hypocrites’ Who Left PGA For LIV Golf

PGA golfer Billy Horschel is done saying all the rights thing when it comes to the golfers who left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.

On Monday, Horschel went on a rant against the ‘hypocrites’ who have been calling out the PGA and tour commissioner Jay Monahan since they left for LIV.

“I believe they made their bed,” Horschel said of the LIV players being disallowed from PGA sanctioned events. “They decided to go play on that tour and they should go play there. They shouldn’t be coming back over to the DP World Tour or the PGA Tour.

“To say that they wanted to also support this tour, whether DP or PGA Tour going forward, while playing LIV tour, is completely asinine. Those guys made their bed. They say that’s what they want to do. So just leave us alone.

“They keep talking about how the PGA Tour doesn’t listen. I’ve been really frustrated by it because there’s a lot of guys that are hypocrites, that aren’t telling the truth and that are lying about some things.

Billy Horschel continued:

“I just can’t stand to sit here anymore and be diplomatic about it.

“The comments they make, comments that (PGA Tour commissioner) Jay Monahan doesn’t listen to us. Jay Monahan and everyone at headquarters work tirelessly for us to reap financial rewards and have all the opportunities that we have.

“I am one of the 200 plus members of the PGA Tour, so when you take shots at the PGA Tour you’re not just taking shots at them. You’re taking shots at us.”

Horschel also hit out at some of the rationale LIV players have used to explain their defections, including wanting to spend more time with family.

A lot of PGA players such as Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm have joined Billy Horschel in calling out the LIV golfers over their comments made during press conferences.

At this point, it’s clear that there’s going to be a clear division between PGA and LIV Golf players. And Jay Monahan has to feel pretty good about some players having his back at this telling time for the history of the game.
