And you can’t do that when a tour has guranteed contracts and a closed tour

Rickie Fowler went from top 10 to out of the top 100

If the pga tour was setup like LIV that never comes close to happening. Look, anyone that is impartial understands LIV not bending on this is its own fault. Even their biggest fanboy flushing it can see this

But, I don’t see much effort from LIV to actually change things. One of the biggest issues is pathways and player rotation. Last season, just 1 player gained access to the league via their feeder tour, making up less than 2% of the field. Even if you add in the 3 players from the promotion event, they still gave more spots to guys with guaranteed contracts than they did qualifiers. That’s a problem. It’s very easy to stand back and blame other organisations, but what are LIV actually doing themselves to get players access to majors?


If LIV changed this and was still blocked I would be impartial enough to say they are getting screwed.

The OWGR can change their criteria in a heartbeat if they want to in order to rank LIV players. They are just choosing not to. I don't give a flip one way or the other about LIV, but they have a stronger field than any other tour not named the PGA Tour week in and week out and are not getting points.

If the PGA Tour can change the way they operate (no cut Signature events, etc.), then surely the OWGR can find a way to incorporate LIV, even if they are awarded fewer points for being smaller fields with 54 hole events. This shouldn't be that difficult.

Everyone is being obstinate here.

Oh bullshite. Someone much smarter than you or I could come up with several solutions that would address all of the issues.
