GOLF LEGEND GREG NORMAN DISMISSES CRITICISM ABOUT LIV GOLF IN SIT DOWN WITH TUCKER: 'I REALLY DON'T CARE'

The tour's changes come after gripes among its own players, including Rory McIlroy, which was partially why players joined LIV in the first place.

"As much as I probably don't want to give Phil [Mickelson] any sort of credit at all, yeah, there were certain points that he was trying to make," Rory McIlroy said prior to the Tour Championship. "Some of these ideas, did they have merit? Of course they did. But he just didn't approach it the right way."

Players wearing shorts during Saturday's round near Boston include Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood.
