LIV golf Wag fires dig at partners of PGA Tour stars as row over rebel competition spills over to other-halves
A LIV golf Wag has fired a dig at partners of PGA Tour stars as the row over the Saudi rebel competition has spilled over to players’ other-halves.
The lucrative breakaway series is strongly opposed by the PGA and DP World Tours and has caused division throughout the sport.

Now LIV golfer Pat Perez’s wife Ashley has taken the row to social media.
PGA stars Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele took their partners Nikki Guidish and Maya Schauffele on holiday to Napa, California.
Nikki, fiance of Cantlay, shared a series of images of the foursome from the stunning wine country.
But Ashley, who wed Pat Perez in 2015, wasn’t impressed.
When Golf.com shared the pictures of the trip, Ashley took a nasty dig.
She commented on the post: “I’m sorry. That doesn’t look like fun…. at all.”
Ashley then followed her comment with a snoozing emoji.
The unkind comment, since deleted, shouldn’t have put too much of a dampener on the delightful looking trip, particularly after news of Cantlay and Nikki’s engagement.
Nikki is good pals with the Schauffeles – while she also gets on very well with Brooks Koepka’s wife Jena Sims.
At this week’s BMW PGA Championship rebel Ian Poulter was spotted in a heated row with American star Billy Horschel.
Members of LIV Golf have been suspended by the PGA Tour and most DP World Tour events, but they could play at Wentworth if they are ranked inside the world’s top 60.
Rory McIlroy recently described the rift that the lucrative LIV breakaway has caused with his European Ryder Cup team-mates.
He said: “I wouldn’t say I’ve got much of a relationship with them at the minute.
“They are here. They are playing the golf tournament. My opinion is they shouldn’t be here, but again that’s just my opinion.”
