I would be ok with the Liv tour if they showed it on tv. DJ, Deshanbeu, Keopka and Mickelson are my favorite players along with Bubba Watson. By the way, what happened to Bubba Watson?

LIV is on the CW. A few weeks ago, the LIV tournament went to a playoff hole and most of the CW stations bailed to go to regularly scheduled programming.

Name one other tour that gets rankings points for 54 hole invitationals.

The PGA Tour is also looking more and more like LIV all the time by design (they've instituted an entire schedule full of cut-less, short field tournaments for the best players in 2024 to keep them around) and I can guarantee they'll maintain their OWGR point status. All of these entities (PGA Tour, Euro Tour, USGA, R&A, PGA, OWGR) are in bed with each other and that's the only real reason LIV hasn't gotten what they've asked for to this point. |

Here's the part you neglected to post for some reason:
Official Gira de Golf tournaments are conducted over 54 holes but have 36-hole cuts, something LIV events don’t currently have. The lack of a cut has been cited by officials connected with the OWGR review process as a possible stumbling block in LIV’s application for OWGR status. The OWGR release also noted that players have access to official Gira de Golf tournaments through an annual open qualifying process and that the tour provides opportunities for local and regional players to compete. “As such, the Gira de Golf Professional de Mexicana is in keeping with long-standing OWGR Eligibility and Format Criteria providing inclusion for professional tours at the development level with available Ranking Points commensurate with the format and anticipated fields.” Open qualifying and opportunities to progress to full tour membership are considered criteria needed for tours to gain OWGR inclusion and something LIV is seen as lacking. LIV Golf’s "relegation plan" is meant to remedy this, but it’s hardly an open system when some players are exempt from the process.

Nearly the entire justification for limiting LIV is falling away with every decision they make. |

It's too bad Brooks is a colossal dbag. So weird though, he sucks unless he's in a major. Baffling.

I was shocked to see Viktor chatting him up around 15. I'm like wtf could he possible have to say to Koepka at this moment. I thought it was a good sign he was loose, but then he drilled that ball into the side of the bunker and it was game over.

For a league some dummy called a bunch of "broke-dicks and has-beens" they sure have played well in the first 2 majors.

That was like God came down and cast the ball in the hole. Just impossible to believe the whole thing was real the way it played out for him.
If you weren't moved when he sunk that putt on 18, you have no soul.

I've had great interactions with most of the PGA golfers I've met at the tournaments but there are those 10-15% that are just insufferable assholes. Paul Azinger is one. That ****er can go **** himself with a ****ing **** stick. Met him in the lunch room at Grand Cypress in Florida and he was the biggest jerkoff athlete I ever met. He also tossed a golf buddy of mine off the driving range about 15 years ago during a practice round for taking pictures and getting autographs. Guy has bad rap. Great guys I've interacted with are Gary Player, Nick Faldo, ( I made him and his caddie laugh at Pebble Beach 100th U.S. Open}, Ian Woosnam was a great guy to everyone including giving out stuff to kids on every hole, old timer Doug Sanders at a US Senior Open at Ridgewood Country Club where I also interacted with Player. Going to practice rounds allow minor interactions.

I've never seen two golfers in the same bunker in nearly the exact spot both shank the ball and drive it up under the lip of the bunker in the almost exact same spot.
That was ****ing freaky and cost Hovland any chance to win.
