Wyndham Clark: Some LIV players would be welcome back on PGA TOUR – Irish Golfer Magazine

Must read

The name Wyndham Clark has long been whispered when it comes to links with LIV Golf and he has admitted that he could have joined the Saudi backed tour.

Clark would have happily joined LIV Golf if he could have continued to play on the PGA Tour having held talks with representatives last year before turning them down.

“If we 100 per cent knew we could take the money and come back,” he said on the No Laying Up podcast, “then we all would have done that.

“We all would have been way richer, and then you come back and actually play at the highest level.”

Clark may get his wish after all if the PGA TOUR and Public Investment Fund framework agreement talks go a certain way where all the best players are back playing together again.

The 2023 US Open champion would welcome back a certain calibre of player from LIV Golf back to the PGA Tour if they so wished to return.

“It depends on who it is,” he explained.

“Guys that have had the career where they should be lifelong PGA Tour players, they deserve the right to come play the PGA Tour.

“If Dustin Johnson wants to come back and Phil Mickelson and guys that have won, Brooks [Koepka], who have won majors and are most likely Hall of Famers, they deserve to play wherever the hell they want, because they’re so good.

“Guys that maybe left and didn’t have that pedigree and career, those are the guys I struggle with because they made their decision.

“They chose to go play there, and take the money. I think that’s what a lot of us wrestle with.”
