They probably will buy it won’t be a substantial amount or equal to the pga tour, nor should it be IMO.

LIV will end up having to play more events and more holes to be truly sustainable. But doing that kills a lot of the supposed appeal.

LIV has all the leverage here.


If the OWGR has a criteria list for Tours to meet, and LIV doesn’t meet that criteria, how do they have ALL the leverage?

I’m not saying they can’t have some, but to say they have all is just incorrect.

Why not? Surely someone here understands the OWGR pts calculation pretty well to figure out where it would land.

I figured the field rating would be somewhere around 70 or higher for a LIV field.

Edit: I’m suggesting 1st place in LIV event taking 10+ OWGR pts is substantial.

54 holes to 72 holes is not apples to apples along with the fact that the PGA Tour doesn't have the same field every week.

LIV will eventually get points. They need to expand their fields and play 4 rounds and it only makes sense with the quality of players on that Tour.


They’re top heavy but outside of 10 players the field is atrocious. Look at Bangcock. It’s bad.

They may go points but the problem is going to be interest while time passes to get those points and are some of these players going to pass up the points in their prime?

I asked for proof. You haven't provided any. I suspect that's because you don't have any.

CO Tiger....at least Bopper has toned it down, but you refuse.

Can LIV topics be discussed> I said a while for Fox will pick them up and thought they would get points. However, I do thing they need to play 72.

CO- you offer nothing to any thread except attacks....

You just bumped a thread that hasn’t had any discussion for 4 days to call him out.


I’m sure that will definitely help the situation you’re complaining about.
