LIV Golf

Flawed then (perhaps)! If it was defunct, there'd be no ranking for him at all! Nor anyone else!

Splitting hairs.

No longer functioning is part of the definition of defunct, and the OWGR no longer functions as an accurate ranking system.,

Can’t you all agree on ‘not fit for purpose’ and move on?

It actually didn't favour US based tournaments before - the opposite infact, but, the PGA Tour has all the best players because historically it's attracted them there because of the money available, so inevitably the field strengths are always high. The new system now amplifies this, but it's clearly flawed - as is been seen this weekend.

Historically, European, which effectively meant British players, werent good enough to compete in the US.
And, in the hayday of Seve, Langer, etc, the gulf in money wasnt as huge as it became in the Tiger boom, and ET purses also dropped as Europeans moved stateside.

I’m sorry, it’s defunct. Dustin Johnson 38th best golfer in the world?
Nope.

Well if he's as bothered about his world ranking as you are, he can always return the Saudi blood money and return to the PGAT........!!

I’d be interested to see the detailed analysis done by those saying the points allocation is wrong or flawed.

Again, we appear to have options being presented as facts.

I don’t know either way or care particularly. Other than it’s amusing how some people simultaneously think the OWGR is pointless yet so important.

Give the LiV events points. The points allocated will be so small they will be almost insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

LOL!.....LOL!

LIV fans be like.....The OWGR is pointless, flawed, unofficial, meaningless but....
"Hey! We demand our world ranking points".....LOL!

OWGR is now defunct as a professional world golf ranking system - There are players, playing pro tournaments, that it doesn’t rank, so it’s obsolete in that respect.

And yes, under this defunct system, the points awarded to LIV players will be small, but at least the system would be more accurate.

The only place you can play golf and make a worthwhile ranking (in terms of major qualification) now, is on the PGA tour. It’s not just LIV where OWGR points would be insignificant.

Sooo, if LIV can't get ranking points, it's defunct?... LOL! such arrogance. This is why they will fail.

Nope.

DJ is proof, that if you play 3 day events, shotgun starts, 48-man competition, washed up players, never been player, seniors like Bland and Mickelson.......Your world rankings will drop like a ton of bricks.

There's some right ball ends joined the forum recently just to antagonise on this thread

Nothing arrogant about it buddy.

Tell me, when DJ rocks up in another major, Will his odds be longer, shorter, or the same as the golfer nearest to him in the OWGR?

 

[Backsticks]

DJ is one of the best 10 golfers in the world => OWGR obsolete.

 

[Backsticks]

I see Jon Rahm was categorical in his support of my view on this.

Yes. Clearly is there are world class golfers playing, and the owgr ignores them, it is defunct. OBPWGR. The Official Biased Partial World Golf Rankings.

DJ wasn’t one of the 10 best golfers in the world when he retired to play exhibition golf.

In the eyes of many he was and still is.....sorry if this rocks your boat.

 

[cleveland52]

Yet, very few of his followers watch him on Youtube.....Shameful. LOL!

Curious, why the obsession with YouTube?
Who knows, maybe they watched him on tv, or via the website, or via streaming services (viaplay, dazn etc.), or ...

In what part if the world do you play your golf?

I think it’s more making the point that mainstream media aren’t interested in it.

Just because people believe a thing doesn’t make it true.
