Tour pro hilariously rips on LIV Golf by dunking on...Cameron Tringale?!

England's Eddie Pepperell still doesn't believe LIV Golf is the future, according to his latest exchange on social media.

@LIVTracking pointed out that after nine events played on the circuit, the rival tour has already secured 'bigger stars and greater venues'.

"LIV has a better format, faster pace of play and superior broadcasting. The future growth is unlimited," they wrote.

Pepperell responded:

"Well, if you spend in a year a significant chunk of what another institution has (probably) spent in nearly a century, it shouldn't be surprising you'd get players like Cameron Tringale in return. It almost definitely isn't the future."

Tringale, previously a rank-and-file member of the PGA Tour, joined LIV Golf last August. He thanked Tiger Woods in the process.

"LIV players are only serving themselves"

Pepperell, 32, has been one of the harshest critics of the tour, led by Greg Norman.

Last June he tore into the likes of Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood in an interview for The Times.

The pro stressed he wasn't going to make the moral argument about the Saudi-backed series as he had previously played and won in Qatar.

He previously said:

"We've heard rumours that Westwood thinks our tour is finished. If this happens and we look back and conclude that LIV Golf put the knife into the back of the European Tour, how are Westwood and Poulter and Sergio [García] and these guys going to feel about themselves, knowing they have been complicit?

"You can make the difference but you're not: you’re serving yourselves and ultimately you may be contributing to the demise of a tour that helped you to become the players you are. It's just sad, isn't it?"

LIV Golf will play their second event of 2023 over 17-20 March at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson, U.S.

Charles Howell III won the first LIV Golf League event of 2023. Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC won the team element.
