LIV Golf

Following on from what I posted in the pro golf thread, the USGA have released their exemption criteria for the US Open and...

...there are direct exemptions for LIV, both into the US Open field and through to final qualifying this year; with additional exemptions next year.
Thats good. There are a handful of excellent golfers on LIV and majors couldnt afford to risk being without them. They have pitched it about right I think, with one spot available, and only if in the top three. It is refelctive of the overall range and quality of the LIV field at the moment and I wouldnt see the need for additional exemptions at the moment, but if things change with the PIF/PGAT then the allocation might need to change. Even if the main players returned to the PGAT, if LIV became a properly competitive tour, reserving places for the outright top three or so could have justification. The other three majors need to follow this lead.
 
Looks like a broadcast deal has been done with ITV to show Liv Golf over various channel platforms including ITV, ITV4 & ITV X

Huge news to have pro golf back on terrestrial TV.
