‘Clown Tour’: Netizens Show No Mercy to LIV Golf’s Latest ‘Cry for Help’ As Nasty OWGR Wounds Linger

There’s been a lot of criticism since last year after LIV Golf’s inclusion in the golf roster. But this year, people have got themselves familiar and also the LIV events, including the one at Jeddah which concluded last Sunday, received quite the craze. But despite that, the league couldn’t get itself included in the OWGR list because of their poor selection process.

Now, as per the latest news, LIV Golf has announced a promotional event, and this seems like a desperate attempt by CEO Greg Norman. Also, golf netizens have shown no mercy as their anguished cry comes to the notice of the golf community.

LIV Golf is organizing a promotional event

LIV Golf is popular for its experimental status. While the league opted for its players in 2022, the golfers didn’t have to undergo a standard selection process. Even the format of the game follows 54 holes with no cuts. But recently their unconventional system became a tragedy for the association.

As the golfers forwarded a plea to OWGR to include the players in their points system, the chairman turned down their request and backed his decision by stating that the league is not considered a proper golf association. This came as a huge blow for not only Greg Norman but also the LIV loyalists.

After the league faced this shocker, they decided to relegate players who had been average throughout the season. One player who already got dropped is Chase Koepka. But LIV’s latest update on Twitter has good news for these relegated players and other golfers who are willing to join. 

A tweet has been shared which says a LIV Golf promotional event will take place in Abu Dhabi during the month of December. The best three golfers will earn a place in the LIV Golf 2024 season. Even a detailed account of players who can participate has been released. The format of the game will be an 18-hole stroke play over three rounds. 

As the post went viral over social media, the netizens came in like a swarm of bees to put out their comments on the event. Among these, most were criticizing the league.
