Thorbjorn Olesen prefers the 'historic' PGA Tour/DP World Tour over LIV Golf
The DP World Tour is a historic golf circuit that has been around for many years now. However, its popularity was recently challenged by the Saudi-backed LIV Golf and many prominent golfers have already chosen sides. Thorbjorn Olesen also had a firm opinion regarding the controversy and gave his stern views.
The Danish professional golfer believes he would like to win historic trophies on the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour instead of the new LIV Golf circuit. He also prefers a 72-hole game instead of the new format adopted by LIV Golf.
Olesen explained his opinion via a conversation with News9 Sports:
"LIV Golf – they have obviously got some good players. But I still think the best players in the world play on the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. They have got good players and a decent concept but for me personally, I still prefer the 72 holes (strokeplay format). I prefer the history attached to this game."
Thorbjorn Olesen added:
"As a player I would like to put my name on those historic trophies. That’s my opinion about it."
