The Englishman hit out while in Scotland for the Alfred Dunhill Links
Matt Fitzpatrick says it’s a disgrace that PGA Tour stars were handed spots in the BMW PGA Championship.
Fitzpatrick, who stated this is the worst year of his golfing career, gave his opinion on the recent Wentworth entry and said: “I don’t think the Tour should have gone with the PGA Tour. I was pretty livid, to be honest, at Wentworth when I found out that there was a handful of PGA Tour players coming to play and, at that point in time, not every person who kept their card last year got in the field, which I think is a disgrace. That’s the Flagship Event.
On his own thoughts, Fitzpatrick continued: “My idea would be you have basically like a Premier League, Championship, league of golf, whether LIV is the Premier League or PGA Tour is the Premier League, whatever it is, and then you can bring everyone together. And there’s more of a relegation-promotion, you can work your way up. If everyone was together, I feel like that would be more beneficial, anyway.
"If you want to achieve the things that you want to achieve in the game, you’ve got to play against the best players, here the best World Ranking points are, and unfortunately with that, the money follows that.
