In a position of strength after the favorable judgment rendered less than a fortnight ago against the dissident players of LIV Golf, Keith Pelley, Director of the DP World Tour, believes that the structure for which he is responsible has never been so strong. only at this moment. No offense to the grumpy, especially those who gravitate around the LIV Golf directed by Greg Norman.
In a podcast provided by Bunkeredone of Britain’s most influential golf news sites, Keith Pelley recalled that the DP World Tour, which he governs, had never been as strong as it is today. And this despite what part of the public thinks. Reinforced less than fifteen days after the judgment rendered confirming that the players of the European Tour having joined the LIFE Golf were at fault, the Canadian wanted to put things right.
I find these remarks rather mean-spirited. It’s easy to fall into provocation but it also demonstrates a flagrant lack of information…
« It makes me laugh softly when I hear some people say that the DP World Tour is weakenedhe blurted out. I would like to know where they get such arguments. On the contrary, I don’t think we have ever been in a better position than we are now. Especially in the face of competition, in the face of inflation… I find these remarks rather mean-spirited. It’s easy to fall into provocation but it also demonstrates a flagrant lack of information…”
Keith Pelley, even if he never refers to them by name, clearly points here to the few “top names” of the European Tour who succumbed to the sirens of LIV Golf, and who were, for some, recently dismissed from their appeal by Sports Resolutions.
These noises and other rumors unfortunately come from players whose careers were largely built on the European Tour
« These noises and other rumors unfortunately come from players whose careers were largely built on the European Tour and who are now encouraged to participate in another Tour, which has its own capital… “, Asserts Pelley, who took the opportunity to put back, as they say, the church in the middle of the village.
« When we look at the playing opportunities, the number of tournaments offered by the DP World Tour, the number of countries visited, the number of partners, the quality of our sponsors, the international aspect of our structure, the innovations brought in and out ropes, the rapprochement with women’s golf but also with golf for the disabled, announcing that our Tour has become weaker has something absurd in my opinion… »
Close the ban!
