I'm just curious as to what you think a court could discover about LIV that would be pertinent to any case (concerning collusion by another party)???I can imagine there could be lots on the LIV side. I won't speculate, but there will be a court case so we will see. Sure there is PGA collusion, we will just find out if they were dumb enough to put it in email and text.
If I ran the OWGR I would grant LIV points today. I would also set up the system so that awarded points have a multiplier based on field size, strength and # of holes played. Then I would dare them to sue again, make them prove the smaller field playing less holes deserves the same # of points as the Players. Sure they deserve points but probably closer to what is earned at the Honda or John Deere.
If I was LIV, I would ask them what format garnered the most points for my members....and I would dare them to award me less. I would also use the 2024 format the PGA Tour is going to with their no-cut events....and dare them to question my no-cut events status.
They deserve more points than a typical DP World Tour tournament receives, if they go to 72 holes. It's a stronger field.
I respect the way you view this, above. Seems most want them excluded AT ANY COST...and for ANY REASON (legal or illegal). It's really odd to me. It's a clear case of the PGA Tour propagandizing the situation and the golf media is completely complicit.
