Lee Westwood and AP: The end?

UPS ended it's 14 year relationship with Professional Golfer Lee Westwood.
You know why.
Is AP next?

I would imagine it's blowback from him signing with Saudi golf league. Will be interesting to see how other sponsors handle it.

I met Lee and his wife at the Players this year and they couldn't have been cooler. Hope it all works out but seems a bit of a risky move.

Another LIV blowback from sponsors. Not a surprise really.

A lovely bloke - I ended up in a drunken conversation with him about heat pumps of all things whilst we were comparing notes on disastrous renovation projects!

Living the dream eh Roger?

Lee does like a drink and you’re right that you couldn’t wish to meet a more grounded, nicer all round guy.
