LIV Golf

So because it makes no difference to you and your pals it won't affect the major's credibility, all right then!!

I think you missed/ignored the words 'to me'! t seems that it does 'to you'.
To me, it won't have any effect on credibility of majors, as it was the players choices to join LIV. For those LIV-ers not already qualified, there are other ways to qualify for both Opens available.

I've not missed anything, I'm well aware of the context he meant, which is meaningless.

Fair enough, but perhaps the context of your post is meaningless to him?

LOL! lack of LIV player will not affect the majors credibility. No one cares if Phill and associate play in the majors.

So in summary, LIV has failed because they haven't recruited ALL the top players, but the Majors wont be affected if they didn't have ALL the top players.

Got it.

ALL?

Again, your summary / interpretation of other peoples comments is embarrassingly poor.

If LIV had recruited most of the worlds best players, except maybe a handful, that would have probably satisfied part of LIV's strategy. However, LIV have not come anywhere close to signing all these top players. Not even close.

So don't start trying to claim that non LIV fans are now trying to say it is a failure simply because ALL top players haven't signed. That has never ever been an argument.

Mind you, just imagine how prestigious a Major would feel with JUST the 48 LIV players in the field. Now that would be a disaster for any of the Majors.

last nights match play was like watching paint dry for me, along with a semi final with 8 teams then a final with 4. no more interesting than the PGA which is boring. I guess I play golf watching has never been my thing unless it's the majors on great courses.

1. Where has anyone stated LIV has failed. 2. There are ways into the Majors other than OWGR ranking that are available to LIV players.

I'm generalising. Posts have been made in recent days about LIV failing to secure enough of the top players, and on 2, of course there are, but securing a place will now be more difficult for some of them, so we are going to see weakened fields in The Majors.

Interesting (nice) to see BdC's decision re opponents backfire! Otherwise, indeed a bit dull.

If LIV players aren't good enough to qualify then are they good enough to play..?

Don't know, maybe we should do away with OWGR points and have a full qualification process for all?

1. No! You are exaggerating at best or simply telling untruths! 2. Any 'weakened' fields are actually caused by the LIV players - who knew or should have known the likely consequences before they signed. I have zero sympathy for them!

So now you don't want ranking points....

 

[Mel Smooth]

It would be fairer than what we currently have, would it not?

Plenty seem quite content for LIV players not to have ranking points....

But then how do we know who the best players are..?
And, for God's sake, you know why they're not getting ranking points....the record's stuck..

While their target of tempting away the worlds best golfers failed,

As for resolving the dilemma of weakened fields in Majors, the resolution to that isn't in the hands of the LIV players.


Most people want to see the best players in the best competitions (The Majors). Right now, that scenario is up in the air.

Assuming those LiV players with exemptions are allowed to continue to play in the majors. Which other LiV players would add to the quality of the field?

So, how do you know who the best players are then?
