Shorts no longer in play on LIV tour, Perez says

Shorts are no longer allowed on the LIV Golf tour, according to CEO Greg Norman.

The decision was made after some players expressed concerns about the lack of a dress code on the tour.

“We’ve had a lot of feedback from our players, and they’ve expressed that they want to see a more professional environment,” Norman said. “We’re listening to our players, and we’re making changes accordingly.”

The new dress code will require players to wear collared shirts and long pants. Shorts will no longer be allowed, and players must also wear hats or visors on the course.

The LIV Golf tour is a new breakaway golf league that is funded by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. The tour has been criticized for its lack of a dress code and its high prize money.

Some players have said that they are attracted to the LIV Golf tour because it offers them more freedom and flexibility. However, others have said that they are concerned about the tour’s lack of a dress code and its association with Saudi Arabia.

LIV Golf Announces Scoring Changes to Enhance Transparency

In a move to increase transparency, LIV Golf has unveiled several scoring changes to its innovative format. The adjustments aim to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of player performance.

Key changes include the introduction of a new “gross score” metric, which will complement the existing net score. This will allow fans to better assess players’ overall performance, including penalties and other non-scoring shots.

Additionally, the scoring system has been modified to more heavily penalize missed shots on short holes. This is intended to discourage overly aggressive play and reward strategic decision-making.

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman believes these changes will enhance the integrity of the competition and provide a fairer assessment of player abilities. “We are committed to providing a transparent and equitable platform for our athletes,” Norman said.
