Players reflect on first year of LIV Golf at Centurion Club in London

“Going into this last year, we were excited but we were also very nervous, excited about being part of something different, being part of a team, having friends on your team. But it was a fairy-tale start, like Branden (Grace) said, with us winning and then every week just got better and better, and here we are a year later.

“I think it’s even going to grow from here. We’re going to get more events and play great courses going forward. It’s so much fun to be part of all of this.

“It was sort of a decision each of us had to make. I was at ease with — I played a lot of major golf in my career, and I was very hopeful that I would still be able to play the Open, and what I’ve heard from people high up saying they’re pretty sure I’ll be able to play an Open still going forward, so I was at ease with my decision and going forward.

“I’m just glad to see that it’s finally sort of come to just back to golf again and that the fighting can stop and that everyone just do their thing.

“To be part of something new, and I’ve had a good career in golf, and I was sort of on my final stages there on the PGA Tour, was thinking about maybe even stopping after 2021, and then this opportunity came that was completely dint than what I’m used to, being part of a team aspect, and knowing that I’m going to have these two that’s good friends of mine in the team was an opportunity I didn’t want to let go, and I thought, why not.

“But yeah, I think all of us standing here are very happy with what we’ve decided, and we’re just excited for the future.”
