Courtesy of LIV Golf Supporters, Lexi Thompson’s Biggest Dream Just Became a Scapegoating Nightmare, Leaving Fans Agitated
They say that for women, the sky is the limit and that they now stand on the same pedestal as men. However, the realities of today are very different! Recently, LPGA golfer Lexi Thompson rewrote history by competing alongside men on the PGA Tour. However, LIV Golf supporters have taken away her biggest dream and converted it into a nightmare after setting a negative light on her.
Only six other women have ever accomplished the incredible feat of competing alongside the men, according to the LPGA star. Yet, it seems like LIV supporters inadvertently turned Thompson’s historic moment into a nightmare, igniting a debate about gender dynamics and the future of professional golf!
A Saudi league-loyal Twitter page, LIV Golf Insider, has made comments about the Shriners Open and the participation of Lexi Thompson. The tweet claimed that 1/3 of the “men” in the Shriners Open performed worse than a female golfer who hasn’t won on the LPGA Tour in five years.
This was a jib at Thompson. The tweet further went on, suggesting that the PGA Tour is “officially irrelevant.” The tweet also brought in LIV Golf and exalted the series. “#LIVGolf has always been the future of professional golf,” it stated.
The message, as per the LIV loyalists, was clear: the PGA Tour was losing its prominence, and LIV was the go-to place for intense male golfing competition! Sadly, though, it was Thompson’s incredible feat that was dredged through the mud amongst it all!
The tweet ended up gathering a lot of attention for every word it posted and receiving some really insightful comments from fans and readers.
