Latest 2023 Masters Update Will Definitely Not Sit Well With PGA Tour Fans

The rivalry between the PGA tour and LIV golf continues. LIV golf is like a brash newcomer which has acted like a party crasher. Some of the PGA tour’s top players have been lured into LIV with loads of money and perks. In the ongoing bicker between the two, the US-based circuit has banned the participation of the rebel circuit. The latter has filed a complaint alleging antitrust violations on the PGA tour. But this rivalry has not yet disrupted the majors.

As of now the majors have not been affected by the ongoing feud between the PGA tour and LIV golf. After being in dominance, the PGA tour finally has a rival. A rival with pockets deeper than what one could fathom. They are seen as the poachers by those who are loyal to PGA tour.

The feud by many is labeled as an ethical dilemma. Are you going to fall for abundance of cash or reject it due to the funder’s terrible reputation?

Should the eligibility criteria for masters be changed to exclude LIV golf?

The dilemma continues: “If the masters criteria is unchanged, roughly 16 of the 78 players eligible are with LIV“, says Doug Ferguson, an AP golf writer. The LIV players are facing uncertainty over their involvement in the game’s majors and their battle for Official World Golf Rankings continues.

The ball remains in the court of the organizers of golf’s major tournaments. They have the power to ban LIV players from competing in their tournaments. LIV’s inclusion in the four biggest tournaments of golf will determine if it has succeeded or has become a failure.

The established tours like PGA and DP World are expecting organizing bodies to make things tough for them. Tiger Woods at St. Andrews ripped the LIV rebels for back stabbing the tour that made them who they are. But if we were to view it from a strategic viewpoint, it will extremely entertaining to view the players of rivals tours going head-to-head against one another to win the majors.

It’s going to be a tricky decision for the organizing committee. If the eligibility criteria remains unchanged. The majors will get to some of the best golf players who have shifted to LIV golf. And if not, then some of the gems of golf might lose their value with an invitation to possible legal actions against the organizers. The only middle path is a modus vivendi, providing all the tours a framework to work together.

Stay tuned to see what decision the golf organizing committee will reach.
