Masters & LIV
 
Augusta National says it won't ban LIV Golf players from 2023 Masters

Why would they? None of the Majors are going to ban them and the PGAT made a total mess dealing with this.

That was a no brainer.

The test will come the next year, when LIV Players don't have high enough OWGR Ranking to Qualify.

Good, the best players in the world should be playing in the majors regardless of what tour they play.

The world ranking points will eventually phase out all EXCEPT prior champions... LIV tournaments don't get world ranking points.

It makes no sense to divide the best golfers into two tours. They will lose spectators and sponsors.

My interest in professional golf has gone from barely measurable to non-existent, thanks to this fractioning of the talent. I'll probably still watch the Masters, but beyond that? pffft...

To me there is a much larger group of talented players today than in the past. The tour is not dominated by a few players but by several. On any given weekend, any of the top 15 players could win. They all hit the ball accurately for a long distance. This more like when the ABA was established causing the NBA to adjust the game.

I enjoy watching LIV.....team play, David Feherty and a lighter more accessible tour.

They divided themselves.

they did divide themselves.....now they want to talk, and compromise on something? I know the Arabs have endless money, but how long can they go on without television and sponsors? nothing like playing in Asia these days. as the are doing..........I think they will come back, begging to be reinstated......

I just put $100 down in Vegas for Rory to win the Masters through someone traveling to Vegas next week. Might give me better / higher odds. .

Great news for golf fans.

Masters
 
Disappointed. This will be first year I won't watch

JGibson 12-22-2022 08:53 AM

Friendly reminder-

The PGA is a not for profit tax exempt organization that doesn't pay a dime in taxes yet they hand out billions to multi-millionaires who hit a little white ball.

It's the biggest scam going.
