Just stop man. It’s getting sad. Look up the logical fallacy and realize you aren’t being clever. You’re making a fool of yourself. I hope all is well.

It’s an easy yes or no. Why can’t you answer it?

You can’t answer because it’s obvious the answer is absolutely players need to confirm to some standard in order to get ranked

I just looked at some of the tours that qualify.

Very clearly stated, very clearly defined. It’s impossible to expect them to rank golfers without confirmation like gooch stated. Ridiculous really

And LIv can qualify just as easily. Ask yourself why they are choosing not to

You are equating LIv to a weekend round at the club. And you don’t grasp how that is a precise example of a logical fallacy that has been around for centuries.

I suspect the Majors will cut a deal with LIV in the near future to auto qualify their top 6-8 players. The Masters floated this possibility a week or so ago.



This is exactly what will happen.

No, I am not. I am responding to the comments of gooch and LIv supporters saying players shouldn’t have to conform to any metrics and it’s the job of the OWGR to still rank them

Once the pga tour decided to partner with liv, the owgr thing became much less of an issue.

The pga tour legitimized liv by agreeing to partner with them. A huge mistake by jay imo.

Now everyone outside of the pga tour, like the majors, just got all the incentive they need to give legitimate exemptions to liv players as they see fit.

OWGR is a ranking of professionals in professional events. WAGR is the ranking for amateur players.

The governing bodies of the majors just made the OWGR decision.

it’s the tour working with OWGR. I’m sure somehow the tour is giving something to OWGR. PGA Tour can not afford to have the OWGR to allow LIV to get points. It could possible literally bankrupt the pga tour.

There’s no way this can be real, but it currently says the final round had 88 views on YouTube.

Not a slam, but it is easy to forget about LIV is playing during football season.

I do miss seeing Cam Smith on the PGA Tour.

Since 54 holes is 75% of 72 holes why not give them 75% of rating points for ea Liv tournament. Problem solved.

Because 54 holes isn’t the big problem. Read the letter.
