New Zealand golfer Danny Lee has come out swinging against the PGA Tour as he prepares to tee off in his fourth LIV Golf event in Adelaide tomorrow.

Lee switched to the Saudi-backed league in February and made an immediate and life-changing impact when he won a tournament in Arizona, pocketing over $6 million in prize money.

The 32-year-old says LIV Golf can eclipse the PGA Tour for popularity and believes golf's traditional powers are scrambling to protect themselves.
