The eyes of the golfing world are on New England this weekend with the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. It’s the first encounter between golfers who joined the new Saudi-financed LIV Golf Tour and those loyal to the PGA Tour. It’s created a bit of a feud, but is it good for golf?

British golfers Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, who joined the LIV circuit, were asked by a reporter earlier this week, "If Vladimir Putin had a tournament, would you play?"
