After years of criticizing LIV Golf and shaming players for making the move to the Saudi Arabia-backed, Greg Norman-led circuit, NBC’s Brandel Chamblee has changed his tone. He now says it’s time for the PGA Tour and LIV to come to an agreement and reunite men’s professional golf.
“The time is now, to (Rory McIlroy’s) point about making a deal,” Chamblee said on Golf Central late Thursday, “I wouldn’t have said that a year ago, I don’t think there are a lot of people within the world of golf that would be particularly enamored with the idea of making this deal.
“But it is the better end of the bargain at this point.”
LIV’s Anthony Kim, who made his return to golf earlier this season in Jeddah, took to X/Twitter and called Chamblee’s heel turn a “hypocritically retreat.”
