[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] 'PO Champ' Patrick Cantlay (USA) gave an ambiguous response to rumors of transferring to LIV Golf, sponsored by Saudi Arabian capital.

On the 28th (Korean time), the US Golf Channel reported, "There are many rumors that Cantlay will move to LIV Golf," and "Cantlay said, 'I have no plans to go to LIV Golf right now.'" It also pointed out, "Cantlay previously responded to LIV Golf transfer rumors by saying, 'I have no plans right now.'" This contrasts with Will Zalatoris (USA) who said the day before, "Even if I were given all the money in the world, nothing would change for me."

Cantlay is a strong player ranked 4th in the world. Although he has no major wins, he has accumulated 7 PGA Tour victories. Last season, he was crowned FedEx Cup Playoffs (PO) champion and Player of the Year. Cantlay was also ranked 6th in the FedEx Cup standings in the 2021/2022 season. He has the possibility of becoming the first player in FedEx Cup history, which started in 2007, to win two consecutive years. Cantlay said, "Since all the major tournaments this year are over, my goal is to win the FedEx Cup for the second consecutive year."
