LIV Golf

[AussieKB]

From most people, this could be classed a joke.

But, as a caricature LIV fan, I suspect AussieKB will be threatening legal action against the PGA if his 28 points doesn't get him any World Ranking Points.

FYI I had 36 points, winner 44 points off a 27 handicap, no OWGR points for me

John Rahm on OWGR today

"I've gone 2nd, 1st, 4th, 1st and I have not changed my World Ranking. I don't know if that explains what I meant the other day but it should."
For those who missed it he said OWGR is laughable right now.

OWGR is in a bit of a pickle and in real danger of losing all credability with players and fans.

It can't be a world system where eventually only players on one tour/country can break into the top 50.

Soon it will be OUSAGR

The World Ranking is a joke if LIV players don't get any points, but they desperately want to be part of it, and get points. Part of a system they say is flawed anyway.

I'm sure the new system probably does have issues with it. That doesn't change the fact, however, that LIV does not meet the basic criteria. And, the current system shows it is not overly simple distributing ranking points for players from different tournaments around the world, especially where there are differences in playing field. So, try and throw LIV in there as well in their Micky Mouse ( ) format, just imagine how much more of a mess it would be that it may already be.

Honestly, LIV, just enjoy your millions, enjoy spending more time with your families, and relax...

The problem with that is when they start leaving players out of the Majors when do the Majors stop being Majors and just another PGAT event ?

Pretty clear the the OWGR in its current form is on borrowed time.

The weekends events have shown how flawed it is, and as we progress that will just become more obvious.

If it becomes an issue, I'd imagine a more likely solution would be to allow the top x LIV players to qualify.

Which LiV players that aren’t already exempt from the majors will improve the quality of the events?

Chase Koepka....?

That’s not the scenario we’re looking at, players who don’t play on the PGA tour won’t rank high enough to qualify for majors - it’s no longer just about LIV players feeling aggrieved.

Not so much an issue, as we already know the best players will end up on the PGAT, unless they end up on LIV. If there was a player on the DP World Tour who was moaning about not getting into a Major because of World Ranking, then I wonder why they don't aim to play on PGA Tour with the other best players in the world.

I'd also imagine those in charge will continue to review the current system, it is only newly implemented after all.

So The Majors just become another PGA tour event then, as stated earlier. (Barring a few invitations, qualifiers etc)

The PGA don’t have first dibs on world golf, they’ve tried to engineer that obviously - but as I’ve said before, the game is global and should be played on a world stage. Imagine if all the best footballers in the world HAD to play in one country, do you think that would be beneficial to football?

I just have zero idea what you are moaning about now.

Leishman, apparently, has no worries if LIV players are banned from Majors.......

I have long since thought your posts smack very much of emotion - and of ‘playing the man’ and not the issue

Not at all. I am playing the post, it is just that it is the same man posting them all the time

They wont be left out.

Its already out of service. System metaphorically down until they repair it.

The LiV supporters don’t seem to realise it’s not the Major’s, OWGR people or PGA Tour that might prevent some players from playing in the majors. But the players themselves.

 

[Backsticks]

No, they will just be allowed in by a separate channel or criteria.

But Id say the OWGR will be repaired before that.

Chase Koepka....?

YEP>without Chase Keopka the majors stop being a major......LOL!
