Graeme McDowell admits that joining LIV Golf has not come without its challenges, the Northern Irishman revealing ahead of this week’s event at Valderrama that the controversy surrounding his move to the breakaway circuit was something that he “struggled with for months”.
The former US Open champion and 11-time winner on the DP World Tour was one of the first players to come under fire when he joined LIV Golf last year, many taking to social media to criticise the Ulsterman when he said he was “proud” to help Saudi Arabia” on their current “journey”.
