Adam Scott is the one player everyone assumed would be a perfect fit for LIV Golf. But he's still on the PGA Tour. And he might be the only one capable of making sense without making enemies. Scott's comments last week at the Australian Open are worth noting. He has listened to Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods say LIV leader Greg Norman must go before anything is solved.
