I'm very curious what LIV is gonna do once a lot of these contracts run out. I'm pretty sure DJ/Phil's contracts are up this year and I think those are done. Phil's gonna be 56 next year and I could see him in the booth. Bryson's is up in 2026 and he's gonna want the Rahm. deal. Rahm is locked in til 2028. I can't think of any top 30 player who would even be interested in signing with LIV

I like datagolf because strokes gained is easy to understand. I'm not sure if they have some sort of SOF adjustment. On the flipside strokes gained at the Amex isn't the same as strokes gained at Valderrama. One is wedge contest and the other is one of the toughest courses in the world.

I have nothing against LIV; I still like a lot of guys on that tour and will watch if they go up against a crappier PGAT event. I feel the guys chirping the loudest about the majors are the ones who'd have a very small change to qualify even if they were on the PGAT. I don't even care if they get OWGR points. The thing is the SOF for LIV fields is super depleted. Bryson, Tyrell and to a lesser extent Rahm/Niennman are the only players adding any actual value to the SOF of a liv event. LIV has a bunch of guys who are ranked outside the top 1000. If Tiger for example plays the Hero and finished all 4 days,he's gonna leapfrog a to of liv gus Do I think Joaquin Niemann should be playing in all 4 majors? Yes and he's played well and earned his way into them. I actually have a ton of Patrick Reed; the guy has teed it up 4x on the DPWT this year and once on the Asian tour and is grinding to accumulate OWGR points. Do I think the top 15 guys on LIV should be exempt into all 4 majors like Bubba suggested. No and I don't think even Scott O'Neil or LIV exec's believe that's reasonable. LIV has 60-something guys who have played an event this year. Could you imagine inviting 25% of those guys? What a laughable notion. I like how the USGA/R&A do it, top player not currently qualified before X date gets in. This entire OWGR discourse is old and LIV needs to move on.
