Overview

• LIV Golf confirmed to The Detroit News that Bill Hobson’s media access for the Detroit team championship was revoked and said he was offered standard grounds passes instead.
• According to Hobson, the action followed his podcast with Pat Perez that included limited questions about the league’s Public Investment Fund backing and former CEO Greg Norman.
• Hobson says LIV officials pressed him to edit out those questions after the episode posted, and he refused before the credential was pulled.
• LIV issued a statement claiming it values open and honest dialogue with media, a stance that drew sharp criticism from outlets covering the decision.
• A separate YouTube host from The Scratch Golf Show alleged his expected credential was denied after he criticized Patrick Reed’s Ryder Cup candidacy, an assertion LIV has not confirmed.
