There have been strong reactions to recent news about the PGA Tour reducing fields and eliminating the cut at “designated events” beginning in 2024.
Brandel Chamblee recently spoke positively about no-cuts on Golf Channel.

Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and LIV Golf’s Ian Poulter saw the video and accused Chamblee as a hypocrite.

He is referred to as a “hypocrite”. I knew they would soon reverse and try and steer, and forget what they once said. No surprises. Next @eamonlynch ??????? Although he will not be able to articulate it, he will make it sound as clever and natural as usual. @chambleebrandel https://t.co/GiW858xjod

LIV Golf was criticized for not having a cut, but many analysts were quick to defend it when the PGA Tour imposed one.
Two Englishmen were two of the most outspoken former PGA Tour players, and there is no sign that the 2023 Ryder Cup will slow down.
