In this episode, Ben and Jay discuss LIV Golf's pursuit of Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points and the OWGR's deliberate exclusion of LIV Golf.
They explore the reasons behind the OWGR's decision and the potential impact on the rankings. Ben and Jay also share their predictions for the next 12-15 months and discuss the potential consequences for major championships. They conclude with their excitement for the future of golf.
Takeaways
LIV Golf has retracted its application for OWGR points after the OWGR decided not to grant them due to concerns about the qualification system and lack of turnover in Live Golf events.
The OWGR's decision to exclude LIV Golf from the rankings is seen as a way to protect the PGA Tour and its TV contracts, which are tied to the OWGR rankings.
The OWGR's rankings are criticized for being inaccurate and outdated, and there are calls for a fairer system that includes LIV Golf and ranks players based on their performances.
The future of LIV Golf and its impact on major championships remains uncertain, with the resolve of the majors and the decisions of top players being key factors.

Takeaways
The Waste Management Phoenix Open faced several issues, including spectator injuries and fights, highlighting the need for better crowd management.Putting played a crucial role in the performance of players, with some top players struggling in this area.Older players like Charlie Hoffman and Ian Poulter proved that they can still compete at a high level.Some players, like Brandon Steele and Mito Pereira, had a slow start to the season, but it is still early, and their performance may improve in upcoming events.Laurie Canter's participation in the DP World Tour indicates a potential collaboration between the European Tour and LIV Golf. The PIF and LIV partnership is seen as a viable solution for the European Tour, as the current deal with the PGA Tour is not well-received by European fans.Tommy Fleetwood's visit to LIV does not necessarily indicate that he will join the league, but rather shows his friendship with other players and his interest in exploring different opportunities.The real-time competition and volatility of LIV, where players are competing against each other simultaneously, adds excitement and a different viewing experience for fans.LIV has the potential to attract new fans, especially those who are interested in team logos and branding, and who may not typically watch traditional golf events.The announcement of the upcoming Golf Lovers United UK Golf Tournament, with details to be released soon, provides an opportunity for supporters of the podcast to participate in a golf event and connect with fellow golf lovers.Chapters
