re: We know what Anthony Kim has been to to now

Look, today showed Kim wasn’t some sleeping golf giant the last few years just waiting to shoot 60s and dominate. It was myth, a lore. I am looking at his ball speed numbers. It’s clear he hasn’t played much at all
you’re an idiot. & what if he goes & shoots a 68 tomorrow? You didn’t even watch it. He obviously still has some rust, but there were a lot of good shots too. He topped his 2nd shot of the day & ended with bogey on a par 5. He absolutely shanked another for a bogey on a different hole. Those are easy mistakes to eliminate after a few more rounds.

These podcasts complain about the PGA Tour product as much as anyone. They just think LIV sucks more

I think it’s a little harsh to judge AK after 1 round.
Does it look promising? No. But also, I can’t imagine the nerves playing your first truly competitive round of golf in years.
I think the buzz will die down a little if he continues to play poorly, but all he needs is one good tourney to drum up some interest. I just don’t know if he’ll be able to do that or if he’ll just have a Sihwan Kim type year.

1 thing for me is I wonder if the insurance money thing was ever true, or if it was simply him being an absolute mess that kept him away. Seeing him makes me wonder, and Norman’s comments don’t really make it sound like it was a guy living a happy life just staying away due to a payout

Pretty much every good player carries one. I would think that part is true. He will eventually open up about it now.

I think we knew that wasn't going to happen. I have a hard time imagine him having a top 10 finish, much less winning. That being said, given the time off and the amount a coke he's done (I didn't know that was the issue but he definitely hit it hard
) I think it's fair to give him a couple tournaments to see if he's got anything in the tank. The safe bet would be that he doesn't but it's not fair to knock him after one round.

This perfectly encapsulates the issue with just giving LIV golf OWGR points. The vast majority of the spots are closed off, but they gave 1 of 56 (I think) spots to a guy that hasn't played a competitive round in 12 years. People are making arguments in this thread that he can improve because he had a topped tee shot and a shank during his round. This isn't some guy playing his first round at the muni after taking a few months off in the winter. It's also not like it's a one off tournament. He will be out there the rest of the season.
I am not claiming that OWGR has it 100% right or that the PGA tour doesn't also have things wrong with how they give spots in tournaments, but this does not help the OWGR argument for LIV.

Nobody knows if Kim would even get OWGR pts for coming in 54th, in that scenario.
Right now only the top 24 gets any pts in their season standings. Maybe it would be the same for OWGR pts.
Maybe “Wild cards” wouldn’t earn OWGR pts until they earn full status. There’s a ton of hypotheticals you could argue.
Acting like them adding two wild cards to play the rest of the season (trying to earn a spot on LIV next year) is proof why they don’t deserve OWGR points just seems kind of silly to me.

I didn't say proof why they don't deserve. I said it is a great example of the issue. The closed system is the biggest deterrent to getting points. If Scheffler, Rahm, Rory, and Viktor decided to form their own 4 man tour, how long would it take before we decided they weren't the best 4 golfers in the world?
That is obviously an extreme example, but I'm using it to show the issue with a closed system. Also, the PGA Tour is moving in the direction of getting more closed off as well. I am not a fan of it. I don't like that the argument for LIV getting OWGR points is that the PGA Tour is also sort of closed off. I would prefer that both moved in the direction of becoming more open.
I would prefer no exemptions, no parachutes. Just strict qualifying for events, and we end up with the best fields. I am also aware that I am not trying to make money off of an entertainment product, and this is a pipe dream.

Looking at some of the videos, no troll, I’m kinda shocked there seems to be zero fans. I do love the looks of all the courses over there
I would have thought the Saudis would have paid people to pack it considering it’s the home event
The events over there are always empty. When the DP tour goes there even with some huge names too for their year end it’s a ghost town. Just figured LIV would maybe bring them in

It was always unfair to AK because people were acting like this was tiger returning to golf. AK would be like zalatoris quitting for 12 years and then coming back, not tiger woods.
