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

That just shows how it's objective. I think what you want is for it to be subjective based on the field and the prestige of the event

You argued a lot that a 54 hole tourney shouldn't get points.



Every thread he has spit this out without realizing there are multiple tours on the OWGR list that are 54 holes.

Once that was realized, he moved to "invitational" and "no cut".

Check back next week for the latest rendition.

You sure are stuck on that. I'm guessing you are not a competitive person. Tiger, Jack, etc. sure stopped being competitive after getting their money.

DJ very literally said that one of his primary motivations was to play less golf, and Koepka has been very open about that desire in the past.

They are literally signing up for less competitive reps against good competition.

It's not objective at all. It values the Butterfield Bermuda championship the same as the Valspar or Heritage which had far superior fields

Norman called Rory brainwashed for sticking with the PGA tour. He has made it personal. The entire thing is very personal for Norman



Rory has been accused of being brainwashed because he simply parrots back what Jay Manahan has to say. Given he was elected as the player's advisor he's never been anything but a PGA tool. No one is ever going to accuse this mouthpiece of being a player's rep.

And for some reason, you think the things Rory has had to say about the players and LIV isn't personal?

I never said Rory hasn’t made it personal. I just pointed out Norman has as well

Tiger purposely started playing fewer PGA events. You didn't have a problem with that when he was exhibitioning around on other tours for free money instead of playing PGA events.

I don't think you know what algorithmic means either.

He was responding to me where I mentioned I saw an interview where Norman skewered Monahan but did not make it personal. But he went on some other tangent about it being personal.

Let’s see Mingo walk us through why the FedEx system isn’t an algorithm

Tiger played his events to gear up for the majors. Everything revolves around the majors. He also has the most competitive work ethic of anyone in golf history.

Not sure that’s apples to apples.

Yes, because Tiger Woods is not a normal case. No one questioned whether Tiger would put the work in because he was a demonstrated golf sociopath, basically.

I do not have that same feeling about anyone currently playing. You’ll have to excuse that subjective judgement.

Rory lost me at the Players in 20 when he whined about shutting it down after he went 9 over opening round, but on Wednesday said they absolutely should play.

But to be truthful, I am not a Rory fan and he his Trump and Doral stance was somewhat strange as well.

They need a different name, “LIV” sounds like a super bowl.

If you want to get into the semantics of my syntax, maybe I could have used a better word, but you know exactly what I mean and that I am right so you are now deflecting.

The Fedex Cup awards the winner of the Heritage 500 points and the Butterfield 500 points. In no way is that equitable. The OWGR does not do that. You said they were the same thing, you are now aware they are not. You're welcome.
