Billy Horschel became the latest PGA Tour player to criticize members who have been lured to the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV Golf Invitational Series by lucrative signing bonuses and $25 million purses.

During a news conference ahead of the Scottish Open on Tuesday, Horschel said he didn't have «ill will» toward players who have left, but did take exception to some of their comments about the PGA Tour. «I've been really frustrated by it because there's a lot of guys that are hypocrites, that aren't telling the truth, that are lying about some things, and I just can't stand to sit here anymore and be diplomatic about it as I have been in the past,» Horschel said. «I don't fault anyone for going to play the LIV tour.

I don't have any ill will for anyone going to play the LIV tour. I have ill will toward comments that they've made, comments saying that [PGA Tour commissioner] Jay Monahan doesn't listen, the PGA Tour doesn't listen to us. »Jay Monahan and everyone at headquarters is the PGA Tour.

They work tirelessly for us to reap the financial rewards and have all the opportunities that we have. At the same time, I am one of 200-plus members of the PGA Tour.
