Likely so.
So the "no cut" argument is out the door.

Not really, other than the bonus payout. I couldn't care less about the Fedex Cup.

Looks to me like they are doing just fine where they are standing.

It's actually not, that's what the math is for

Your are talking about the events here, not whether there is a cut or not.
Again, no cut is out the door as an argument.

It is different though. You can say it shouldn’t matter, but it’s just basic fact it’s different
One tournament requires you to meet a qualification standard to get into the tournament based on results
One tournament doesn’t
That’s a difference. You can’t argue otherwise

Isn't any ranking system that isn't solely wins/losses made up? At the end of the day, in golf, where there is only one winner of each tournament with ~150 players per tournament, there is going to be some sort of "made up" ranking system, whether that be OWGR, FedEx Cup points, money lists, DPWTR points, etc. For instance, LIV's model is trying to have the best golfers in the world play showcase tournaments around the world for huge purses. How do they determine who these best golfers are? By a made up ranking system or some other way?

Ok, but it's not different when you are handing out world ranking points, which is what you were originally talking about.

Sad that you are stuck on "qualification standards" vs "invitational field". OWGR pts will be awarded based on strength of field & LIV now has 8 of the top 50 players playing in a 48 man field? The stronger the field, the more likely OWGR pts will be awarded.

Yes, but the Fedex Cup exists for the sole reason to give players bonus money and advertise for FedEx.
The OWGR is an objective metric used for qualifying into tournaments and actually ranking the players.
If you want to get meta, everything is made up. Money, morals, norms, etc

If the OWGR wanted to, they absolutely could find a way to award points to LIV events
But if they choose not to, they have an easy out to point to why they are choosing not to.

And those players will be playing in every event.

Do they? I don't think "we don't like them and are butthurt they are taking our players" is an easy out

It gives the winner of every nonelevated status event the same amount of points to the winner. Pretty simple.

Likely so. It’s for the top 50 players based on the previous years standings.
To confirm, we're unchecking that box now?

Yep. That sounds like what the European Tour could be saying about the PGA Tour.
