Thomas Detry hits out at 'outrageous comments' from fans, 'it's pretty strange'

LIV Golf has been under intense scrutiny recently, especially following Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's decision to withdraw funding at the conclusion of the 2026 season. Nevertheless, the league has reportedly received fresh investment, though the investors remain undisclosed. This uncertainty casts a shadow over LIV Golf's future.

However, one player from the league, Belgian golfer Thomas Detry, has stepped up to defend the sport he has embraced. Detry, who joined LIV Golf ahead of the 2026 season, has faced criticism for his decision, with some accusing him of making a grave error due to the timing and missed opportunities. Despite this, Detry remains committed to the league, despite the potential implications for his future on the PGA Tour.

In an interview with Beyond The Clubhouse, Detry spoke about the backlash his fellow players receive on social media, claiming that these remarks are often taken out of context and are far from the reality of the events. He recounted a situation where, after a successful event in South Africa, negative comments still lingered online. Detry's assertion is clear: those who express negativity about LIV Golf have not experienced it firsthand.

The golfer further explained his stance, stating that he hasn't given much thought to his future with LIV Golf, but he remains committed to the league. He expressed his faith in the product, the leadership, and his fellow players, emphasizing that he has enjoyed every event he's participated in. Detry acknowledged the potential for a decrease in purses starting in the 2027 season, suggesting that this could influence his future decisions. Whether or not he will openly discuss a move back to the PGA Tour remains to be seen.
