News about Kevin Na

LIV Golf star Kevin Na went on a foul-mouthed tirade to end the promotion's second annual event in Australia, where he struggled to play his ball out of the rough on a few strokes. Na looked at his first shot in the rough, which in this case was a sand-filled part of the woods, and said to his caddy 'this is f****ng bulls**t' before striking the ball a few times to get back on the fairway. With every stroke in the rough, Na became more infuriated with himself that he could not leave the hazard.

Although the Masters will pay out a total of $18 million to its athletes this year, the tournament will rake in nearly four times more than from merchandise. According to Joe Pompliano's Huddle Up newsletter, the tournament will net $70 million this year, and hordes of people queue up to buy items such as foot-high Garden Gnomes. Although there is a "imagery store" and a "publications store" on the tournament's website, the majority of The Masters' merchandise is only available in-person.

Sergio Garcia has grown tired of answering questions about LIV Golf's rivalry with the PGA Tour. Garcia fired back at reporters who asked if this seemed to be a normal occurrence with all that's going on away from the course after opening the Masters with a 2-over-74. Garcia said, 'fully normal.' "You guys have to avoid it." You guys are making a lot of money out of this, and you're the one's to blame.'

Will Zalatoris be the first golfer to withdraw from the first major championship of the year? Hideki Matsuyama, 26, had been close to winning The Masters two years ago before being defeated by one shot by Hideki Matsuyama, but he had to cancel due to injury ahead of his first round. Kevin Naya was forced to withdraw from the tournament midway through his first round at Augusta National on Thursday, just after.

On Thursday, Kevin Na dropped out of The Masters midway through his first round at Augusta National, citing sickness as the reason. On Thursday, the Korean-American was the first golfer from the breakaway Saudi-backed league to tee it up at The Masters, but he could only muster nine holes before he fell out with his score at four over par. The first hole was double-bogeyed before adding more bogeys at three, five, and nine holes before he packed his bags and headed for the exit.

With 88 golfers going head-to-head for the coveted green jacket, the 2023 Masters is expected to get going. No. 1 in the world Rankings. Following his triumph in 2022, 1 Scottie Scheffler became the new Masters champion. The American dominated all tournament proceedings from start to finish, with the most notable of them leading. During the tournament, it is predicted that around 40,000 eager spectators will pass through the gates from Thursday to Sunday.

Greg Norman has been asked not to attend the QBE Shootout in December, a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament that is held at the Tiburon Golf Club course he designed, but he started in 1989. It was not clear who asked that he not attend the December 9-11 tournament. It was a collective decision, according to the tournament's chief. Norman, who is in Washington to speak with members of Congress about his Saudi-funded LIV Golf collection, broke the news in an Instagram post late Tuesday afternoon but gave no name of who was behind it.

Martin Kaymer, a LIV Golf defector, has stated that he does not feel confident teeing it up at the BMW PGA Championship next week in the midst of escalating tensions between the rebel tour players and the DP World Tour faithfuls. The German, 37, was one of 19 LIV Golf participants in the DP World Tour's, formerly the European Tour's, flagship event in Surrey, England. However, the two-time major champion has decided not to participate in the tournament because he insisted he does not want to play somewhere he does not like.'

The LIV Golf defectors who hadn't turned in their tour cards were denied entry into the PGA Tour, and those that didn't intend to play on the PGA Tour were banned. The PGA Tour's new season is set to begin in two weeks' time on September 15, but Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau's likes will not be allowed to tee it up. Players who hadn't resigned when leaving LIV, such as Mickelson, DeChambeau, and Pat Perez, were told that their memberships had been suspended for the 2022-23 season.

Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Bubba Watson have left for the Saudi-backed tournament, with the PGA banning anyone who wishes to play in LIV. The DP World Tour hasn't followed suit, since the former European tour's bylaws did not provide for the same punishment, which means McIlroy will compete with 18 LIV members at the BMW PGA Championship.
