The Northern Irish star became the face of the PGA tour in its war against the Saudi-owned LIV Golf, only to have the rug pulled out from under him by commissioner Jay Monahan and the PGA Tour he went to bat for.

“I knew I was going to get a million-and-one questions, I thought long and hard on how I’m going to answer them,” Fitzpatrick said. “And that’s not really my job.
