re: LIV Golf Adelaide

I have a question about LIV.
I’ve watched it some, it’s entertaining enough and they obviously have some world class golfers that draw people in.
The big sticking point to why they don’t get OWGR points is because they don’t play 4 rounds right? So why don’t they just…. Play 4 rounds?

Because the allure and selling point to the players was three rounds (and I THINK no pro-ams?) and more money and larger purses. You know-work less, be rewarded more. Which is exactly what the younger generation craves.

A whole lot of stupid in this thread this morning…
Wrong. OWGR just awarded points to 54 hole events on the Clutch Pro Tour. Look that up & there are a ton of differences between that and LIV.
OWGR & LIV is dead though. LIV is no longer worried about getting OWGR points and it’s up to OWGR to fix their system or the majors will start having exemptions for LIV players.
I figured the PGA/PIF merger would fix all of this, but I’m not as optimistic now

I think it’s more due to the tour not being open to promotion and relegation, at least based on their more recent comments
It’s irrelevant now with LIV dropping their application

By far the bigger problem is that it’s a closed system absent 1 - 3 spots. The OWGR probably would’ve worked around format if the system were open.
