After it was confirmed yesterday that Brooks Koepka is leaving LIV Golf, there was an avalanche of reactions from both fans and experts and former players. While this scenario could be expected, some believed that Koepka would extend his contract with the controversial league and continue his adventure in LIV Golf.
Brandel Chamblee is a well-known journalist. He reacted to Brooks Koepka's departure from LIV Golf.
Chamblee believes that the PGA Tour is the best place for a golfer to progress, the most competitive and the most profitable. Chamblee has never been a big fan of LIV Golf, criticizing the Saudi-backed project for years.
Such departures, according to Chamblee, show how much LIV Golf players strive to return to the PGA Tour, but he believes that the leaders of the PGA Tour should react to such and that they must bear serious consequences.

"Time has elevated the PGA Tour for what it is, the most competitive, legitimate and profitable tour in the world," wrote Chamblee on X.
"Time has exposed the LIV tour for what it is, an ephemeral, flamboyant make-believe tour that can neither further the professional game nor the careers of the players who sacrificed their principles for profit in playing for the Saudis.
My guess is those who have a path back will seek it with their hat in their hands, trying to hide the money in their pockets. The PGA Tour should make it difficult but doable for these players for the betterment of the PGA Tour and to the detriment of the LIV Tour."
What will happen?
Whether other players will follow his example and return to the place where it all started, simply, we will see. The fact is that LIV Golf has not achieved its goals, but it is also clear how much it is trying to progress and how much it is giving its maximum to strengthen its place in the world of golf.

As long as they are not able to guarantee their players an appearance at the Majors, the situation will be difficult, and it is certain that some will leave this story for that reason.
