Correct. They’re just gonna have to figure it out.

Taking a firm stand that OWGR in its current form is some perfect metric and all new tours should conform exactly to their system to get ranked is ridiculous.

Likewise, it’s ridiculous to think liv can just start a tour doing what they want, get top players, and automatically be judged according to the current system standard.

This is what change looks like and it takes time to adapt. Which will happen.

But that isn't what OWGR said at all. They said they can adjust to most of it, but the contracts to guarantee spots on tour create a huge problem.

I also don't blame LIV for giving out the contracts to the guys that they gave them to. That is how you are going to attract the names that they did. The issue is you have guys like Ian Poulter taking up spots year after year as they age out of elite golf.

Once the majors allow LIV golfers to be eligible for events based on their rankings (Masters may be first), OWGR will follow suit. It would be a travesty if Niemann did not play in all 4 majors this year. That or LIV should just buy out the DP World Tour to get easy points and stacked events.
