Talor Gooch says comparing LIV to Ryder Cup was 'Little aggressive of a comment'

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – When it comes to LIV Golf, there’s more fiction than fact. Who is going to play the Saudi-backed league, how much they are getting paid and why they would leave the PGA Tour is all the root of rampant speculation.

Following his second round at The Open, Talor Gooch lifted the veil, however slightly, on some of those questions. Specifically, he explained how his plan for a one-off start on the breakaway league turned into a full commitment.

“Historically the Tour has not done that [suspend players indefinitely]. So based on the history, that was my expectations,” he said when asked why he decided to join LIV Golf full time.
