LIV Golfers Ignoring Water Warning in Mexico?
Reports are emerging that a number of LIV golfers may have disregarded warnings about the water in Mexico. This comes ahead of the circuit’s season opener in Mayakoba. On Thursday, several players, caddies, and managers reported feeling ill, fueling rumors of a postponed first round. However, Sports Illustrated’s Bob Harig has confirmed that the show will go on as scheduled.
The cause of the illness affecting players has not been officially confirmed, but it is widely believed to be food poisoning. The majority of players in the tournament field are said to be staying at the same resort this week. It is worth noting that LIV held a party earlier in the week, which has raised eyebrows given the developments.
Food poisoning incidents are not uncommon for visitors to Mexico, and it seems this time is no different. Interestingly, Jon Rahm, LIV’s recent high-profile signing, had previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of toilets on golf courses during PGA Tour events. Let’s hope there are enough facilities for players to use this week in Mexico.
While food poisoning is no laughing matter, golf fans on social media couldn’t resist having some fun with the situation unfolding in Mayakoba.
