DP World Tour players bit back at Paul McGinley after the former Ryder Cup captain claimed they were opposed to LIV Golf players appearing on the circuit.
In a column in the Sunday Times, McGinley wrote that “no golfer” on the tour “wants the LIV players involved” in tournaments.
However, his claims were quickly disputed by two tour players. Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano insisted he had “no problem whatsoever” sharing a field with LIV rebels and added: “Please don’t speak on behalf of all the membership.”

Romain Langasque also responded, adding: “Same for me actually! No problem seeing them.”
McGinley himself replied, saying: “Gonzalo makes a good point.
“I should have been more precise and clearer in that particular quote. It should have read that ‘every player past and present that I’ve spoke to’. Obviously he wasn’t one that I’d spoken to.”
Please don’t speak on behalf of all the membership @mcginleygolf .
I have no problem whatsoever with the @LIVGolfInv players playing on the @DPWorldTour. https://t.co/5g9mNuumR3— Gonzalo Fdez-Castaño (@gfcgolf) September 4, 2022
