Feel like I’ve heard this before." A number of golf fans have been quick to jump onto the similarities to the Saudi-funded league too.

He’s made his mark but I think now is the right time to say you’ve got this thing off the ground but no one’s going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences.”
