Brandel Chamblee’s latest tweet-storm trashing LIV Golf goes deep into the night


Brandel Chamblee is quite active on X, formerly known as Twitter. He tends to use the platform to vocalize his distaste for LIV Golf.

But his latest Twitter explosion on LIV was something else though. What started out with six simple words, turned into an epic question-and-answer with golf fans that covered more than two hours deep into the night.

“Both play for a dictatorial murderer,” Chamblee wrote over a tweet comparing Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia.

After this comment, Chamblee continued interacting with various X users about LIV Golf.

He did not hold back either.

The usage of dictatorial murderer appeared to be his favorite words of choice during the night, as it was used at least five times.

Chamblee also took it upon himself to discuss how the Saudis treat homosexuals and women differently.

“Is it really that hard to decide whether to support one of the biggest supporters/exporters of Wahhabism and worst oppressors of women and gays and a man who murders, jails and intimidates all dissenters who wants to buy all the success and sports of the west and pretend he’s a surrogate to that success and sport?” wrote Chamblee.

It’s interesting that he decided to go that route considering the accusations lobbed his way, detailed in Lisa Cornwell’s book.

Nevertheless, he took a shot not only at Niemann but Jon Rahm and other LIV golfers.

“But his family will be better off,” he wrote sarcastically over a tweet about Rahm and the lack of a crowd.

Chamblee also called out Anthony Kim.

Kim recently signed with LIV Golf after being away from the sport for more than 12 years. He finished dead last, 11 shots worse than any other player this past weekend at LIV Jeddah.

He used his favorite phrase, “dictatorial murderer,” again in this tweet almost an hour after Chamblee used it the first time Sunday night.

Another hour later, Chamblee continued responding to fans’ questions on Kim choosing LIV Golf over the PGA Tour.

There were a number of other tweets from Chamblee about Saudi Arabia, LIV Golf and specific players on that tour which in total lasted for just over two hours.

Since LIV Golf arrived, the Golf Channel analyst has not shied away from making his opinion known.

There are multiple instances of Phil Mickelson and Chamblee battling on Twitter. Don’t forget about him laying into Brooks Koepka after he won the PGA Championship.

It’s evident that Chamblee does not like LIV and will stand by his convictions toward the Saudi-funded league.
