Paige Spiranac voices a sentiment shared by many.
As the second round of the 2024 Masters wound down, golf influencer Paige Spiranac took to social media to express a sentiment that resonated with many fans. “All I know is that golf is better when the best players in the world are playing together,” Spiranac posted on X.
Spiranac was highlighting the unique thrill of major championships, where top talents from different tours compete head-to-head. This is a rare occurrence given the current division between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, with players like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy associated with the PGA, while Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka play for the Saudi-funded LIV Golf.
The sentiment among golf fans tends to favor the PGA Tour over LIV Golf, despite the latter attracting many high-profile players. A fan responded to Spiranac’s post, saying, “Yeah, I don’t really watch LIV. Great golfers, but the events aren’t as good.” Another added, “Then they should have stayed a part of the PGA Tour.”
With only two more days left for fans to enjoy the rare sight of PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars competing on the same course at the Masters, the excitement is palpable. As the third round begins, DeChambeau and Scheffler are tied at 6-under par, showcasing their consistency at Augusta National. Not to be outdone, Max Homa made a significant move on Friday, tying for the lead and adding further intrigue to the leaderboard.
