Charles Barkley Gives Honest Assessment On LIV Golf Controversy ‘For $150 Million I’d Kill A Relative’

  • It was later reported that Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson both received over $100 million to join LIV golf.
  • Charles Barkley went on the Pat McAfee and gave his honest assessment of the LIV golf controversy.

Charles Barkley has chimed in on the LIV golf controversy and was brutally honest as usual.

Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and other former PGA tour golfers faced a slew of criticism in recent weeks when they joined the Saudi-nacked upstart golf league, LIV golf.

Mickelson, who reportedly got paid $200 million to join the golf league, found himself in hot water when he tried to rationalize his partnership with the Saudis.

“They’re scary motherf–kers to get involved with,”“We know they killed [Washington Post reporter Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.”

Barkley went on the Pat McAfee show earlier this week and gave his honest assessment on the LIV golf controversy which made McAfee a bit uncomfortable.

“I don’t judge other people. If someone gave me $200 million, I’d kill a relative…Hey, I’m serious, Phil Mickelson got 200 million dollars and Dustin Johnson got 150 million dollars. Hey, for 150 million dollars, I’d kill a relative. Even one I liked!”
