Bryson Dechambeau, Jon Rahm says Liv’s competition is ‘sufficient’ for world scores

Portrush, Northern Ireland – Bryson DECHAMBEAU and JON RAHM support LIV efforts to re-report world points, stating the quality of the league player and her “sufficient competition”.

Official World President Golf Trevor Immelman He posted a statement last week That the Board received LIV 30. June and to be reviewed “in accordance with the OWGR’s criteria for the safety, integrity and consistency”.

OWGR has its annual meeting of the board this week outdoors, although it is unlikely that any decision on LIV’s status determined at the time.

LIV’s lack of world rankings has been a disputed problem for years. Leadership passed the players to get points on the launch of the league, they tried to form an alliance with slightly known menamas and, after initially rejected 2023. year, formally withdraw its application last spring.

The OWGR first denied the application because it was said that it could not compare this to the competition of the LIV team with other sanctioned tours. It also had concerns about the league – which has been expanded since then to 13 teams and 54 players – viewed as a closed store with a small promotion and relegation. Liv has a “dripping zone” that makes players vulnerable, but can also be re-signed through other means. Liv began the promotion event that was at the end of 2023. offered three places in the league, but it has been reduced to just one since then. The leader of the International Series Asian tour can also join the league at the end of the year, provided that he is not already a member.

Tuesday quite asked that Owgr could reach a different conclusion this time: “I don’t know completely. They definitely don’t know each other in Liv. More associations in Liv. Those things that I think could help with Liv.

Dechambeau said that Liv has a “some opportunity of good players” and that he was excited about the new General Manager Scott O’Neil “passes through that process and got that right way.”

Last week at Liv’s event in Valderami, Rahm said Liv had a “sufficient level of competition” to rank quite.

“What you saw this week is a good level of golf. He deserves points. How much? I don’t know,” Rahm told reporters in Spain. “An excuse or argument that this is an exhibition. Do you feel fake. Do you like it or not, whether there are three or four rounds or not, it’s a good competition. And it deserves world points.

“I hope that happens. I hope it doesn’t last too long. Because I think there are good players who deserve the opportunity to qualify for the will to directly competing to their performance in Liv in the future.”

The main championships continue to rely on the OWGR to fulfill their fields. This year, for the first time, USGA and R & and each is carved limited exemptions for the top Liv Player this season that is not already eligible. Sergio Garcia received that spot this year.

There are 19 players representing LIV in the Royal Portress, most of any major this year. Some of these players, including the 52-year-old Lee Westwood, advanced through the final qualification of 36 holes to earn their place in the field.
