sport news LIV Golf: Sergio Garcia's WhatsApp messages to Greg Norman about stars ... trends now

Sergio Garcia's concerned messages about signing up to the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf series have been revealed, stating that some stars were 's****ing their pants'.

The breakaway event has dominated headlines ever since it was conjured up. Eleven LIV Golf defectors, led by Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour last week.

The PGA Tour banned the players for signing up to the breakaway tournaments with the 11 rebels claiming they are being punished for playing in the event.  

And now Whatsapp messages between Garcia, who has joined the LIV Golf series, and the event's CEO Greg Norman have emerged. 

The exchange has been uncovered in the lawsuit, showing the pair's conversation about the possibility of LIV golfers being suspended by the PGA tour.

'I just wanted to see how things are going with the League, cause it seems like a lot of those guys that were loving it and excited about it last week, now are s****ing in their pants,' Garcia's message read on February 11, as revealed by Golf Magazine.

Norman replied: 'Morning. All going very well. I have not heard the white noise of s****ing their pants. Who are you referencing so I can run a check?'

Garcia expressed his fear that some of the 'younger' players were successfully 'scared' by the PGA Tour.

'If you have names I can reach out to them,' Norman said in response.

'In regards to the Tour if they were going to ban players they would have already. They know they cannot hence no action outside of verbal threats. If you can get them or any player threatened to get it [in writing] fantastic. Thanks.' 

Major players have and continue to be tempted away from the long-established tours by the ludicrous sums of money on offer, with the breakaway being backed by $2billion of Saudi money and the total prize money pot across eight events amounting to around £205million. 

Garcia's concern about being punished for deferring to the LIV Tour continued on February 17.
