Why European Player In-Fighting Is A Sad Product of LIV Golf

One of the great things about the old European Tour was the sense of camaraderie it instilled in its members. It never had super, mega-bucks to offer like the PGA Tour, but it had long been a true worldwide circuit in which participants and their caddies travelled to, and stayed together, in far flung golfing enclaves, sharing experiences and creating great bonds. 

It was one of the key reasons that Europe emerged as a golfing powerhouse in the late 20th century. It took relatively little time from the proper inception of the European Tour in 1972 for Seve to blaze a trail and begin winning Majors from 1979. A run of European successes followed and, in 1985, the strength of the European circuit was demonstrated when Europe won the Ryder Cup outright for the first time since 1957.
