Shoutout to Bob for the great article just 18 hrs ago - The Majors remain uninterested in rewarding Talor Gooch and LIV Golfers for play on their tour

Hope he plays well. He had already won 2 LIV events & was playing well before he missed the cut last year.

Only 11 LIV guys playing in PGA as of now.
Patrick Reed’s exemption from winning the 2018 Masters has expired & I believe OWGR #63 Adrian Meronk is the highest ranked LIV golfer without an invite.

Apparently, David Puig (#106 on OWGR) has also received an invite so make that 12.

quote:

The PGA is expected to announce all of its exemptions and its full field soon.

The year’s second major championship typically has numerous exemptions to give and often fills out its field by inviting those who are among the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking and not otherwise exempt.



ETA: that would be 11 additional LIV golfers (23 total) if we were using Data Golf rankings

He’s a top 50 golfer in the world & deserves to be there. It’s a shame he’s been left out of other Major tournaments. At least the PGA Championship won’t have an asterisk

The dude hasn’t attempted to do anything to gain any points, and said that he’s not even attempting to qualify for the US Open.

Guy cashed his check than started whining about everything. frick him he shouldn’t get an exemption over someone else

He’s currently a top 50 golfer in the world. There’s really no argument about that. Points or no points, he deserves to be there.

Like Phil said in his tweet: people can act like they don’t care if guys like Gooch, Paul Casey, Oosthuizen are being left out of majors… what about when it’s Bryson, Cam Smith, Rahm?

Majors need to make adjustments now since OWGR is no longer accurate

Why would they use Data Golf rankings?

That’s a fair prediction. #3 golfer in the world didn’t even make the cut at The Masters

It’s more accurate than OWGR if you truly want the top 100 golfers

OWGR #91 Niemann is #7 on datagolf

It’s all relative. They need to fix it now instead of waiting to fix it then.

You’re right Bryson’s obviously the 117th best golfer in the world & it’s okay if he’s left out of majors (he’s 18 on datagolf)
