The 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark is reportedly on the verge of joining the LIV Golf League. Apart from the American, World no. 10 ranked Caleb Surratt and Asian Tour star golfer Keiran Vincent are also being rumored to join the cash-rich league. As per a few reports, these three players will be joining Jon Rahm’s newest team.
Some reports suggest that Wyndham Clark has been strongly negotiating with the LIV Golf League and the deal could be finalized soon. He is confirmed to be seen at the next PGA Tour event, the American Express, which starts on January 18, 2024.
Fans React to Wyndham Clark Rumoured to Join the LIV Golf League
NUCLR GOLF, one of the top spots for golf fans on social media, recently shared the news on X (formerly Twitter). Soon after they posted the news, it received huge attention from the fans.
One of the fans described the LIV Golf League as the “Trump Tour”. He added that another Trump lover, referring to one of the three golfers mentioned in the post, is going to join the league.

Another fan stated that he was surprised to see Kieran Vincent making a move to LIV Golf League. He reasoned it because the golfer recently won the promotion event of the league last month.
I’m so surprised Kieran Vincent is going to make the move considering he won their promotion event back in November. Can’t believe he would follow through with it!

A fan stated that Wyndham Clark had already peaked his career and he needed to earn more cash. He added that in just two more years he would be worth merely a tenth of his worth. He called it a good move for the American golfer.
He needs to cash in having hit his peak. A couple more years and he might be worth a tenth of what he’s going to get. A good move for him

Another fan had similar thoughts on Wyndham Clark and stated that it would be the right move for him to take the money. He added that he felt that golfers would not be able to play once his exemptions were over to play the majors.
Makes sense for a guy like him. He got his 1 in a million shot title so cash in. He obviously doesn’t think he can play his way into more majors after his exceptions run out, so why not take the money?

Fans had pretty vile reactions to the three golfers rumored to joining the LIV Golf League. Some felt that it was the right decision for them to join the cash-rich league while some questioned their conscience. Here we are with some of the top comments from the fans on X:
In other words, one major winner and two who’s? Embarrassing. If he says that it’s for anything other than cash he’s a liar. Growing the game my arse

Good we don’t want to watch that slow play anyway

He won’t be missed-Ryder Cup performance was brutal and good thing the 18th fairway at LACC was as wide as an NFL field

Majors championships are all going to be owned by the best tour Liv Golf.

If I had a guaranteed 5 year exemption to all the Majors and someone waived 100 million at me, I’d be sorely tempted indeed.

I think to most fans of the PGA it’s not the biggest deal. It would be nice for a merger so we could see the top players go at it once again,…

Good business for the boy, cashing in while it’s hot. Will go down as another major winner for LIV so helpful all round.

Kieran Vincent is already at Liv.

If the rumors are true and Wyndham Clark is joining the LIV Golf League, it is certainly a drawback for the PGA Tour. Although their merger deal with PIF may change the future dynamics for the players in the cash-rich league. And this could be a major reason the Tour players switching to the Saudi-backed league.
