LIV Golf

[WBennett]

The Masters is an limited field invitational and bring whomever they want.

OWGR needs to change its name to PGAAWGR, as in PGA Affiliated World Golf Rankings, rather than Official.

Meh. Let the disrupter suck it up and start their own ratings - call it the UnOWGR based on whatever criteria they want.

Does it really matter?

It doesn't represent who the best players in the world are, although it probably didn't before anyway. Golf tournament entry aside, it's nice to look at. I regularly look at the tennis rankings to see how the Aussies are progressing.

None of the majors are run by the PGA Tour, so they can all invite whomever they want. That's why the tour is so keen on promoting The Players and the FedEx Cup, and why on LIV golfers were "banned" from any of the majors. Surely the R&A, USGA, and PGA of America all want the strongest fields for their "signature" events? How long do they stick to using OWGR as it becomes less and less accurate?

They’ll base most stuff on OWGR until the exemptions run out then issue random invites.

Both opens are literally open to anyone who can qualify so you don’t need an OWGR ranking to get in.

Or kill off OWGR and just use the data golf rankings.

So you’re anti LIV who’s posted the most in a LIV thread. Hilarious.

I noticed the new logo on Mickleson’s shirt last night and assume the PIF settled the trademark case.

Wonder how much that cost them.

It doesn't need to do anything. It was never an official ranking before and wouldn't be after the change. Anyone who has even an inkling about golf already knows it for what it is anyway.

I reckon the O in OWGR gives a hint it might be official.

Let’s pretend you’re the only one here with an inkling about golf. Do you want to share what it is?

Your 3P brain couldn't handle the truth.
