LIV’s major exemptions are dwindling. If nothing changes, here’s what’ll happen

LIV Golf’s major exemptions are quickly running out, and if nothing changes, the upstart tour could find itself in a difficult position.

The four majors currently offer exemptions to the top 50 players in the world, but that number is set to decrease to 50 in 2023 and 40 in 2024. That means that LIV Golf players who are not currently ranked in the top 50 will need to qualify for the majors through sectional qualifying, which is a much more difficult process.

If LIV Golf is unable to secure more major exemptions, it could make it difficult for the tour to attract and retain top players. With no chance of playing in the majors, many of the world’s best golfers may be hesitant to join LIV Golf, which would hurt the tour’s credibility and competitiveness.

After qualifying for the Olympics, golfers are snubbed. The explanation is baffling

Despite meeting the qualification criteria, several golfers have been inexplicably excluded from the Olympic team. This decision has sparked outrage and confusion, with many questioning the fairness and transparency of the selection process.

Sources close to the selection committee have indicated that the decision was based on a combination of factors, including the players’ world rankings, recent form, and team chemistry. However, many experts believe that these factors are not sufficient to justify the exclusion of certain players who have consistently performed at a high level.

The decision has been met with widespread criticism from players, fans, and commentators alike. Many have accused the selection committee of bias and favoritism, and have called for a more transparent and accountable selection process.

Why there’s less ‘bravado’ in pro golf today, according to Brandel Chamblee

Brandel Chamblee commented on the less “bravado” in professional golf today. With many older players retiring, the scene is changing with young players such as Scottie Scheffler emerging. Chamblee noted that these younger players have less cocksure attitudes both on and off the course. They are more serious about improving their skills, are more respectful of their peers, and are more focused on building a lasting legacy. According to Chamblee, this shift is due to the new generation’s upbringing, social media, and increased competition.
