Well they've been giving away free tickets all year
There was free access at the Italian Open this year..... out of all the aspects of LIV to follow, this is the one DPWT decide to follow!

First post in 5 days. Crazy, what is going on. 5 days normally gives us 50 pages to read over. People been on holiday?Well, it wouldn't be a LIV event week, without a little controversy...

Seems to be being reported in many places, but I'll wait until I see it on the OWGR website...
Yeah I noticed mena seemed to have stopped earlier in the year.
Maybe a case of "if being awkward will just game the system then" perhaps..

As I posted earlier, I'll wait for owgr confirmation.Mena is a pure development Tour for aspiring Pros and also top amateurs , the ranking points are assigned for that purpose - to keep the points it needs to be that sort of Tour I believe
it’s pretty desperate move and I wonder if it’s to appease some of the players who maybe having second thoughts
OWGR still haven’t said if the tournament will have any points assigned and you could see them saying no

Not sure it's a desperate move - it seems to me they've found a loophole to pick up OWGR points until the matter is resolved correctly.
It will be interesting to see how the rankings are affected after this weekends event.
Of course it’s desperate and it might not even work
Mena is a pure development tour whose events in 2020 had a level of ranking points.
The event that Mena have added to their calendar last minute currently isn’t in the list of ranking events this weekend- so at the moment only these events will affect the rankings

The whole golf world can see what Norman is trying now , seeing how he hasn’t thought much through before I suspect he also hasn’t thought this through as well
Why would anyone want to see a development tour being bought like this ?
Yes, why would anybody want to see the DPWT be bought in a strategic alliance with the PGA Tour, effectively sealing it's fate as a development tour.
The golf landscape is changing mate, and this is all part of the ongong process on both sides.
Why are are you twisting it round to the PGA and ET ? It’s irrelevant
Is this part of the “on going” process ? A tour which is for young pros and amateurs only for development in the sport being bought out by LiV ?
Look at the list of players in the Event and tell me which ones are “developing” golfers ?
Do you think it’s a good thing LIV just buying this tour for the sole purpose of gaining world ranking points ?
Which has naff all to do with LIV becoming a development tour, lower than the Challenge Tour, just to gain ranking points....I'm not twisiting anything - its factual - the PGA have changed their product dynamically to try and maintain their position in the golf world, LIV are doing the same - it's all a means to an end, which is giving both series a foothold in the game.
There are plenty of young golfers on the LIV series, and quite clearly, part of their business model is to pick up young players with potential.
