  1. My suggestion has nothing to do with the OWGR or whether Greg Norman lied. It has to do with LIV changing their path and working with the four majors to find an alternative path in. I also do not agree with the statement following the rules. Yes LIV did not follow the rules of OWGR but the way to get in the majors is not exclusively through OWGR. BIG IF but if they can convince the majors winners from their events should auto qualify I think let them in Sports are constantly upgrading and changing their formats. Look to most major sports in the United States they have had significant changes in the last few years. NFL, MLB and NBA have added playoff teams FIFA has added more teams eligible for the World Cup. I see LIV as the second most competitive tour in the world and by a pretty wide margin. If they can find an alternative path to the majors that has nothing to do with world ranking points why not. If they are not taking any spots away from any other tours then what is the harm. I see it as a good precedent to set by being amendable and having a willingness to change. Finding more pathways into majors shouldn’t be punished it should be celebrated. Finally and most importantly, I have enjoyed hearing @RickyBobby_PR different viewpoints. You have been nothing but respectful and polite and this is what makes the MGS forum and members among the best.
  2. W hy not just do the top 5 individual players. Doesn't need to be the top 3 teams. I was just saying if I controlled LIV that’s what I would be asking for. I just dont see the harm of LIV bypassing the OWGR all together and getting their tour automatic qualifiers regardless of how Many players automatically would qualify. I also do not see a negative for the majors to add these players who they would deem worthy separate from the OWGR to add the players they want. Finally plus cannot speak to the fields being maxed out I have no idea how many golfers a course could fit. I assume it’s due to sunlight but I would think there could be away around it. Let’s start playing some PrimeTime night golf or everyone can park there cars on the fairway and greens like legend of bagger Vance
  3. I am far from an expert in golf Major exemption but why not just add 12 players to the field. I’m sure for every new exception / new automatic qualifier they found a way to add those players. For example the Olympic winner and the Asian tour have not always been in existence and they found ways to let them participate.
  4. If it was me and I was running LIV I would ask the major to allow the top 3 teams to get automatically qualified and all tournament winners from the previous year into the majors. This would make the their team aspect way more intriguing. As for how, the majors are all run independently of the PGA tour so if LIV can work out a deal that’s how they could get automatic qualifications or LIV exemptions. I am sure LIV will try this by throwing a bunch of money at the majors and it just might work. I am also not sure how Nieman got an invite to the PGA Championship but he has proven it is possible.
  5. I did not know this but it is a good piece of information. I am on the side the world ranking system is currently inaccurate especially if you consider what really matters Vegas Odds. I do think it was a smart play for LIV to give up the chase of world ranking points and go directly to the major tournaments and figure out how to get an exemption or get a special invite. It’s possible they can simply get their tour winners an automatic invite. Then no one will give two farts about the OWGR. The US open allows for special invites so while I’m not sure who will automatically qualify from LIV it will be interesting to see if anyone gets invited.
  6. I know this is irrational thinking and if you check the science I am totally wrong but for some reason I would rather run into the polar bear in the Sand trap. I at least have the hope of giving it a Belly rub and becoming the king of Narnia
  7. I would dream of paying those prices in San Diego for a season of golf. Even if the course was entirely made of concrete and the sand traps had rattle snakes in them.
  8. Does anyone know what most pros do? This seems like a great test for MGS to do if they don’t already have the results.
  9. I respectfully disagree. I believe Rivalries drive all sports including individual sports. Just a few years ago the golf world was infatuated with the brooks / Bryson rivalry. I am personally more Interested in the majors this year because we don’t get to see these guys compete together on a week to week basis.
  10. I have no arguments they took the money and if the majors want to exclude they have their rights to do so but they also means they have the right to include them if they want hence Nieman getting into two majors. From strictly a business perspective I would think they would want the rivalry to drive TV interest and that Money.
  11. I thought he arguably played pretty well. That was such a hard situation to come back from and he did alright. As for the face I would just say Father Time is undefeated.
  12. I think the real question is should the OWGR be a neutral ranking system of the top players in the world or a qualification system to get into certain tournaments. In my opinion that seems to be the major disconnect. They should just change the name to Major Golf rankings or even better what if every major had their own rankings. What a fun debate that would be who gets in and who doesn’t.
  13. When LIV first came out my buddy had the best perspective. He said who gives a F. I’ll just go buy a green jacket.
  14. My initial reaction is this was Just like old college football. The point system is probably outdated especially now. It would be awesome if the majors got a college football board together and they discussed and announced a few weeks earlier who would be in the majors. Then we can have the Florida State debate who got in or like the JT on the Ryder cup team debate. Not a very practical decision but it would be fun.
  15. I have an update on a previous post of getting the jailbird. After a couple cocktails and around 1 in the morning in Hollywood the AI jailbird putter has been purchased. I can remember when my drunk decisions used to be what to order from Taco Bell. But I have evolved and matured to drunkenly lowering my handicap. Cheers to Growth.
