If they keep recruiting there’ll be no option but to have a ranking system. This will become like darts or boxing with different organisations.
Well, as a spectacle, it won't be be missed by me, though I'll miss not seeing some of its members compete against non-LIV ones until Major participation is resolved. I'm sure there'll be more guys recruited, with announcements timed to keep it in the news. As a 'disrupter', that's an essential part of its strategy for a while - as is the OWGR issue that
I'm certain there'll be more players lured across, with announcements timed to keep LIV in the news. For that reason, the OWGR issue won't go away either, with LIV guys continuing to claim that they should be awarded points now! I believe OWGR/Majors Board should resist that, but offer some sort of entry criteria or method into Majors until the points awarding issue is resolved. It's not something I imagine will happen soon though, as I believe it clashes with LIV's 'disrupter' strategy.
DJ drops a spot to 31st in the world. The owgr dont lie, so I certainly believe there are 30 golfers in the world better than Dustin, and that he has gotten even worse this weekend.Congratulations to DJ and the 4 Aces there. Best team through the inaugural season, Perez sticking it to the critics with a solid score today.
Fantastic round from Cam Smith, the ozzy team just lacking the strength in depth but that was a tight finish. The team concept works.
No England ?????Well 4 teams contesting a 'Final' is certainly new! Perhaps that's what the Qatari's are going to spring on us for their World Cup? France v Germany v Brazil v Argentina on the same pitch........
As winner of The Open and The Players, Smith (and Johnson) has little need for OWGR position for at least 18 months, by which time the situation will, hopefully, be sorted out. It's those who haven't won majors that will be affected most - but then only in relation to Majors. FWIW, the 'alternative' ranking systems I've seen indicate Smith and most other LIV players are dropping even if LIV results are included, though their parameters all differ.
OK I enjoyed the event, shame the Aussie team did not get over the line.

H'mm. Even while I'm not a fan of LIV and its 'disrupter' state, I think your view is coloured by your anti-LIV attitude. Just check out the comparison rankings on Twitter that still shows DJ in the top 10!
I'm not a fan of the team concept either, though enjoyed the 2 matchplay format rounds. It takes up too much space on the screen and the commentators push it far too much - obviously directed to do so. But it's obviously a differentiator and a likely future funding method, so I'm sure it'll stay or even expand.
He certainly isnt a has been, and will still turn out for the majors we have to presume. Semi-retired is probably the best description for him.
There'll be frequent announcements from LIV Central of new recruits etc! And I'll be watching to see when LIV players, not otherwise qualified, fall out of the top 50 of OWGR.
