OWGR is a joke

[@adrianalley700]

But Taylor Gooch was already in some Majors until he got rolled with a last minute wording change.

[@mrrational2046]

You forgot Matthew Fitzpatrick, Patrick Cantlay they also think OWGR is a joke

[@mrrational2046]

PGA Tour officials better pray their stars don’t win a major this year because if they do LIV is signing them for next year

[@kennethmckinney2532]

Good move to give up on the OWGR. If you recall Phil said they would never get points and never would. The LIV guys will get in the majors one way or another. Just watch...

[@2Thes22]

OWGR is not just a joke, it is corrupt. Call it what it is - Majors Golf Ranking or PGA Loyalty Golf Ranking. It is being used as a hammer.

[@2Thes22]

LIV didn’t ruin the OWGR. Is it a world golf ranking or is it not. Does it only work in a monopolistic system? The PGA Tour has always allowed players to play in other tours - why not LIV?

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Golf becoming more decentralised is a GOOD thing not a bad thing....

[@2Thes22]

Regarding world golf rankings, 1) should the players and tours adjust to the existing OWGR criteria or 2) should the OWGR adjust to reflect the golf la escape. If the intention is the reflect their name (Official World Golf Ranking) then the obvious answer is 2. If it is any other objective then it is political (power). Of course there is a necessary adjustment period which we are in but time needs to be of the essence.

[@LegolasFan69]

Imagine sticking up for the OWGR like these guys… group think knows no bounds

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

Tbf They are competing with each other to get on cbs air and they know what they have to say.

[@LegolasFan69]

@@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656 great point… company men sucking up to management

[@robertschissler1236]

The owgr is a tool of the pga to stifle creativity and competition. LIV is now world tour and the golfing world is much bigger than the pga tour and they hate LIV’s success 😊😊⛳️😇😉

[@billbkr32ify]

And what channels is it on?

[@DaringDan]

It was never about OWGR points. The design of LIV never conformed to the OWGRs rules. It was abandoned before it started. Any of those guys on that tour should have read the OWGR rules before joining. Instead they listened to Greg who either didn't read it or didn't care and just said what they wanted to hear.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

🙈🤡

[@kennethmckinney2532]

Lol. Sure. There has been a plan all along trust me. The best LIV guys will get in the majors

[@jsiemering68]

Why can datagolf and tugr incorporate LIV tournaments in their rankings but OWGR cannot. How does OWGR claim to have standards yet give full OWGR points to Tiger's HERO World Challenge tournament which is not a PGA Tour event. What is the qualification for his tournament of 20 players. Why would the golf elites give LIV OWGR points, how does that benefit the PGA and European tours. Even more star players from the PGA Tour would move to the LIV Tour if they had OWGR points.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

If you want the same biased cbs takes, stay tuned.

[@the_elder_gamer]

So an organization led my Greg Norman just gives up and acts like an entitled teen when they don't get what they want after doing nothing to help their cause but to say "but we really want it!"...that tracks.

[@robertschissler1236]

Patrick McDonald your the one doing a smear against Greg Norman when the owgr shows Gooch as anything lower than top 20 the owgr looses all credibility and is as dishonest as your cometary

[@MrShibaMX]

OWGR stubbornes is whats ruining golf, more US centric bias propaganda from these clowns

[@hoovs313]

Norman showing his root again?
