You’re right, it’s arbitrary. Really just my feelings on it.
I’m not a fan of liv and certainly not a fan of the people behind it. In my view, those going to liv are biting the hand that fed them (quite well I might add and much more than most of us will ever sniff in a lifetime).
I grew up competing and competition still resonates in me. Even in a friendly round with a friend with nothing on the line… I still grind trying to score better.
With liv… the spirit of competition is meaningless. No cuts. No pre-requisites to get in the field as far as points/rankings are concerned. Nothing.
They are getting paid kings ransoms just to show up and do the dirty Saudi’s facade work for them.
And this isn’t even considering they are ****ting on everyone who came before them to provide them this luxury lifestyle that is the PGA Tour. Women, minorities…both groups were accepted in golf via the PGA. The PGA has literal programs and a tour in place specifically to help these groups. Certainly not Liv and the Saudi’s - can a woman even speak for herself there?
The entire thing stinks.
