Exactly. The two other prominent black players on the tour, Tiger Woods and Harold Varner III have said almost nothing and conducted themselves with class. Varner actually released a statement that was very classy and blamed no one.

Apologies. I was going from memory and not in a position to look up which tournament it was at the time...it may have been the Shriners. I do know that since then, Champ has not done any grandstanding about BLM.
