Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson has voiced strong opposition to LIV Golf's decision to extend tournaments to 72 holes starting in 2026. In a recent interview, he defended the league's original 54-hole format, arguing it creates more exciting competition for fans. Watson also commented positively on Brooks Koepka's departure to the PGA Tour.
