Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee has been an active supporter of the PGA Tour amid its dispute with LIV Golf. The American golf analyst has vocally supported the Tour and has often shared his views on his social media handles.

On Monday, Chamblee replied to a fan talking about LIV Golf. He shared a long message on his X (formerly Twitter) account and talked about the politics in sports. He wrote:

“When I talk LIV or the Saudis, I’m not talking politics because golf became political, I’m talking politics because political power changed the game itself. Actors, musicians, and comedians usually express opinions. You can like them, ignore them, disagree, or turn the channel. Their political speech is additive, not foundational to how their industry operates. Golf, by contrast, has had: state-backed capital, geopolitical objectives, the sovereign wealth of Saudi Arabia and reputational strategy i.e. sportswashing directly reshape its competitive structure, governance, incentives, and ethics.”

“LIV may have disrupted golf, but players leaving LIV is a tacit admission that the fans knew exactly what they WEREN’T talking about. LIV events have no drama, no meaning, no depth, team events that felt artificial and broadcasts that felt bought that never crescendoed.”
