The Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour has generated a lot of emotions over the past two weeks as several major golfers have joined the tour, earning themselves a suspension from all PGA Tour events. 

Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Bryson Dechambeau are just a few of the golfers who took LIV’s massive payday, setting off controversy in the world of golf.

On Friday, NBA Hall of Famer and TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley sounded off of the drama, telling "The Pat McAfee Show" that he was rooting for chaos at the U.S. Open. 

"I want all the LIV guys on top of the leaderboard," Barkley said when asked about this weekend's U.S. Open . "I want to see the PGA Tour shaking in their d--n boots. Listen, I'm not a religious dude, but I want chaos this weekend at the U.S. Open."
