Golf is not just a sport but a battlefield of controversy as legends Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson voice their concerns about the rift between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The Masters 2024 saw a clash of titans as players from LIV Golf competed against PGA Tour stars, marking a significant moment in the ongoing dispute.
