The 33-year-old sportsman joined the tour just over a year ago and he thinks there is much less “animosity and bad feeling” towards LIV now than when it first joined, though he noted he still had to deal with “a bit of flak”.

He told Golf Monthly magazine: “I think I was lucky that by the time I ‘went over to the other side’, the animosity and bad feeling over LIV had sort of tailed off.

“The guys who were in the original batch of LIV golfers – the likes of Mickelson, DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, even Ian Poulter, Westwood and Sergio Garcia – copped far more of a backlash.

“They were being called money-grabbers and even traitors. But even though I came in for a bit of flak for supposedly selling my soul to the highest [bidder] – I swear that’s how one troll put it – it wasn’t too bad.

“I’ve had worse stuff to deal with. A lot worse.”

And Tyrrell thinks LIV is no longer viewed as “the mortal enemy” within the golf world.

He added: “In the year or so that has passed since I joined LIV, I think there is far more of an acceptance that it isn’t the mortal enemy it was originally seen as.

“The desire for us to get along, and to mix, has grown massively.

“I can honestly say that I didn’t feel any resentment towards the original LIV guys.

“For me, it was more a case of being curious about whether they knew what they were getting themselves into.

“Taking a step into the unknown is always a bit scary, no matter how much money you’re getting paid for doing it.”
