This is a weak example from 1 out of 25 LIV tournaments & it was 1 player.

If that’s 1 reason why OWGR doesn’t want to award points, then didn’t LIV address this concern by making a change for 2024? Now all 4 players scores count on the final day.

ETA: I think this story is being grossly misrepresented. He tried to make the birdie to tie Brooks, but wanted to make sure he didn’t bogey & lose the team competition. They both got par on the hole
quote:

The final hole shed some insight into the team component of LIV Golf.

Koepka and Munoz both were about 40 feet away for birdie. Koepka went first and left the putt just over 4 feet away. Munoz needed to make birdie to force a playoff. However, his Torque team had a one-shot lead over the Smash team led by Koepka.
If he were to hit the putt too hard and three-putt for bogey, Munoz might have cost Torque the team title. He left it just under 4 feet short, and made the par for Torque to win a team competition for the first time.
“It’s weird, because I knew we were one stroke ahead on the team, so I couldn’t go extra. I knew I couldn’t be too aggressive,” Munoz said.
“He got the individual, we got the team. I call it a tie.”

All 4 scores counting doesn’t change that scenario…..

He literally was quoted that he wasn’t trying to make the putt and left it almost 4’ short to secure the team title. A guy playing for himself that has to make the putt to win doesn’t leave that short.

It was weird because normally he’d try to make the putt
