"Rory McIlroy Debunks LIV Golf Rumors, Viktor Hovland Next Target"

Brandel Chamblee believes the rumor was planted by the Saudis and LIV Golf after their players at the Masters failed to generate buzz for the breakaway circuit. Despite past instances of players considering LIV, McIlroy's denial adds validity to Chamblee's claim that the story was never real.

The Shocking Defection: Jon Rahm's Career Sold in LIV Golf Move

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee criticizes Jon Rahm's decision to join LIV Golf, stating that Rahm sold his career for a lesser price than it could have been worth in the long run. Chamblee suggests that Rahm's move is a reaction to the PGA Tour's discussions with private equity investors. While Chamblee acknowledges that Rahm's participation may bring viewership to LIV Golf, he doesn't believe it will be devastating for the PGA Tour.

Brandel Chamblee's Controversial Call: Remove Phil Mickelson from the Hall of Fame

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee has called for Phil Mickelson to be removed from the Golf Hall of Fame, citing Mickelson's support of LIV Golf and his criticism of the PGA Tour. Chamblee believes that Mickelson's actions have caused irreparable damage to the game and that he does not deserve to be honored in the Hall of Fame.

Controversy and Disqualification: Rangefinders and Foot-in-Mouth Moments at U.S. Women's Open

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee sparked controversy by suggesting that the LPGA should shorten courses by 1,100 yards, claiming that the lack of driving greens robs the tour of excitement. However, critics argue that shorter courses would lead to more birdies and eagles, making the game less challenging and entertaining. Chamblee's comments also drew accusations of sexism, as he compared the women's game to the men's during a women's tournament. Many believe that the USGA's approach of pushing players to their limits in major championships is more engaging for viewers.

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee responded to criticism from golf instructor Claude Harmon III that he is a "paid actor" for Golf Channel and NBC. Chamblee emphasized that he does his own research and that no one has ever tried to influence his opinions. He also criticized LIV Golf, the upstart golf entity backed by the Public Investment Fund, which operates on behalf of the government of Saudi Arabia, and noted that it is bad for the people who continue to be oppressed by the man who funds it. Chamblee concluded by saying that golf has always been about hope and that LIV Golf is missing that element.

Phil Mickelson defended Claude Harmon III, a golf coach who criticized Golf Channel host Brandel Chamblee for his stance on disallowing LIV Golfers onto the American Ryder Cup team. Harmon III is typically not in the news cycle, so Mickelson's endorsement is telling. Mickelson is one of many big name players who left the PGA Tour last year for LIV Golf.
