The Golf Word War claims that DP World Tour chiefs “deeply care” about his tour, blaming Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and LIV rebels, threatening legal action over sanctions. Escalate as you publish a 553-word statement
DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley has responded violently to a request from Saudi Arabia’s LIV rebels to lift the ban on golf.
If the fine of £ 100,000 and the Scottish Open ban next week are not revoked by 5 pm Friday, threatening to take legal action, the deadline is met with a fighting statement from Perry and bed at LIV. After making, tour players believe Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia, etc. must lie among them.
Perry despised the rebels’ claim that he was “deeply concerned” about the DP World Tour, and resented the idea that the new alliance announced on the PGA Tour had his organization play “second fiddle.”
“The letters we receive on behalf of many LIV players contain so many inaccuracies that we can’t keep trying,” he began.
“Before joining LIV, players knew there was a result. Many of them accepted it, so it’s hard to believe that some are now surprised by the actions taken.
Keisperry, CEO of DP World Tour, blamed the letter he received from a LIV golfer.
LIV rebels, including Ian Poulter (right) and Lee Westwood (left), threatened to take legal action over a ban from the tour.
“The letter claims that these players are” deeply concerned “with the DP World Tour. Past participation suggests that this is not the case. One has played six Rolex series events in the last five years. Another, only four.
“I wish many of them were as enthusiastic about playing on our tour as they are now.”
Perry took a “big exception” to argue that the PGA Tour deal was bad for Europe, arguing that “it can’t be far from the truth.”
Regarding the legal threat, Perry added:
Paulter and Westwood are one of the 16 LIV golfers who signed the letter sent to Keith Perry.
Perry made a “big exception” to the letter, stating that LIV’s rebel position was “untrustworthy.”
