Masters Dinner Highlights Tension Over LIV Golf Split

At this year's Masters Champions Dinner, Tom Watson reflected on the ongoing division between professional golfers due to LIV Golf, noting that players, like Scottie Scheffler, expressed a desire for unity. Watson remarked that while he didn't see a mechanism for reunification, the sentiment among players was clear. Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player echoed the desire for cooperation, though they acknowledged the PGA Tour's current structure is functioning well. Meanwhile, Bubba Watson highlighted a 'tension' felt at the dinner due to the presence of LIV players, suggesting a shift in atmosphere from the previous year, though the topic of LIV and PGA relations remained unaddressed during the event. Scottie Scheffler hosted the dinner, serving a Texas-style menu, while discussions about Tiger Woods' absence due to injury dominated the conversation. Despite ongoing negotiations between LIV and the PGA Tour, no resolution has been reached to unify the tours.
