Why does Liv become a lesser tour because of this alliance?
It's purely to gain OGWR points, nothing more.
Be aware that OGWR points are appointed by the strength of the field not the strength of the Mena Tour.
With the players Liv have they could have more points on offer than DP World Tour events which in essence makes it a higher tour.
This is a genius clever strategic move by Liv with Mena already getting OGWR points for their 54 hole events however I see this really kicking off now and getting super political with probably more frigging lawsuits when this gets bogged down in red tape.
Mena Tour currently only get world ranking points because it’s a “development” tour - that is why they can play just 54 holes
By adding the LIV golfers and LiV tournaments then it clearly no longer becomes a development tour
So the events will still have to follow the same level of requirements as PGAT , ET etc
Greg Norman is trying a loophole and using a tour which gains points without imo understanding the reason why the tour gets the points
Did MENA have a cut at any point over the 3 days before this, out of curiosity?
The last time they held events consistently they didn’t have cuts
