Kaymer questioned the convictions of those who had spoken out against LIV Golf, suggesting their prior criticisms now ring hollow. He challenged them to maintain their principles by playing elsewhere, such as the Japan Tour, rather than joining the merged entity.

Kaymer emphasized his own decision to join LIV Golf, stating he remained true to his personal values despite facing criticism, particularly in his home country of Germany. He highlighted the perceived hypocrisy in those who previously condemned him now reaching out with positive messages following the merger announcement. He underscored the importance of personal decision-making and urged against judgment, suggesting others might ultimately make similar choices.
