Golf's Latest Controversies: Chamblee, Koepka, and LIV Golf

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.
