Disruptive LIV era clashes with hopeful Open dreamers at Brookline
At the U S Open in Brookline Massachusetts six time major winner Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson headline the LIV Golf disruption alongside Ben Silverman and Davis Shore, while qualifiers battle for a rare chance to win a major. Shore and Silverman, both striving to break through, discuss the split in golf with LIV backing. Shore earned a travel stipend for Brookline after a Canada and Latin America tour and a 13th place finish at Royal Beach Victoria Open. Silverman, a 34 year old Ontario native, built his career on Korn Ferry, repaying sponsors with most earnings earned between 2017 and 2019 as he pursues a return to the PGA Tour.
