DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings has accused LIV Golf of aiming to "destroy" the European tour. Kinnings made the remarks during the opening ceremony for the Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen, Scotland, on July 29, 2025.
The comments highlight the ongoing tension between the established European tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series. The rivalry has intensified since LIV Golf's launch, with player defections and legal battles. Kinnings' statement underscores the perceived existential threat the breakaway circuit poses to traditional professional golf structures.
