I mean, players have a right to be pissed at LIV and Norman here



No they don't. They knew going in that they weren't getting points. They can be mad at the OWGR and themselves. Norman and LIV tried about as hard as you can I'm sure.

I've been a decent fan of LIV from the beginning/mainly not blaming players for leaving and calling out the Tours BS. That being said, as LIV stands right now, they don't deserve OWGR and if they did, it should be a decent amount less than what a PGA tournament gives out.

They took the money and knew going in there would be consequences going in with OWGR. That was part of what they had to weigh when deciding to switch or not. Do I take the money and potential to earn much more money each tournament or do I stay and have the potential to keep rising/stay at a high enough spot in the rankings to earn my way into the majors.

Now there are PGA events that 100% shouldn't be giving out the points that they do, especially events like the Hero World Challenge and now even some of the 54 hole tournaments (at least have a reduced amount). So the system is flawed, but it's too bad, there are consequences for leaving and taking the money. They knew from the get go that you can't have your cake and eat it to but now they want to.

I know you don’t believe this


Everything else you said I 100% agree with
