LIV Golf

[Mel Smooth]

So we finally get to see how the OWGR points affect LIV players. I think those that are getting them will be fairly happy with the way they moved them up the rankings - the jury will remain out on whether just ten places is sufficient....

Its a tricky one this because yes only 10 players receiving points seems low compared to other tours.

On the flip side of that the points those top 10 are actually getting are pretty heavy compared to other tours.
Smylie got more points for winning than Reed for example (Reed up to 17 in the world by the way)

If Rahm has his usual year on Liv he will be back in the top 10 in no time.

A player like Elvis Smylie can legit look to get into the top 50 and majors through Liv Golf with some more top 10 results.
Without stating the obvious, he is going to feel right at home this week.

Although Liv are whining I think they got a pretty good starting deal with OWGR.

"A LIV Golf Grounds Plus pass at the JCB Golf & Country Club (scheduled for 2026) elevates the standard Grounds Pass by adding exclusive, elevated viewing platforms at key holes (like the 1st/18th), a dedicated shaded "chill-out" zone, and a private bar to skip concession lines, offering a more comfortable, premium experience for a slightly higher price"

Yeah.. I can read but didn't know if anyone had done both and felt it was worth it?

I haven’t been but have been to a fair few golf events (Open, Women’s Open, Seniors Open, Open Quali, BMW at Wentworth etc) - I personally think it wouldn’t be worth it.

But that’s not a knock on LIV events…I often think that any ‘Premium experience’ is really worth it IMO

What I enjoy about live golf is the ability to do what you please and walk anywhere and follow whoever — being a bit closer on a prescribed ‘busy’ hole wouldn’t appeal and nor would a ‘chill out zone’

Again, this only applies to me!
