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.
