‘Many More Deserving Than He in LIV’: Adam Scott Sparks Huge Fan Uproar as Scary ‘Major’ Fate Looms Large

Adam Scott is in danger of missing his first major championship. After failing to make the cut at this year’s PGA Championship, he is on the verge of missing his first major since the 2001 U.S. Open. Despite his efforts to compete in this year’s U.S. Open, fans appear to lack appreciation for the pro, showing more sympathy towards LIV Golfers instead.

Scott is currently ranked #62 in the OWGR, but the U.S. Open only accepts the top 60 players. Despite the Australian golfer’s determined efforts at the Charles Schwab Challenge to break into the top 60 and secure a spot in this year’s U.S. Open, fans believe some LIV Golfers deserve more than him.

A recent post from @BogHarig went viral on X, highlighting the situation of the 14-time PGA Tour winner. The post noted, “He’s playing Colonial this week and can get into the U.S. Open if he is back in the top 60 by June 10.“ Shortly after, the comments section took an unusual turn.

Due to his position on the policy board, Scott received three consecutive invites to Signature Events this year, including the Arnold Palmer. It led to scrutiny from PGA Tour pro Dylan Wu regarding sponsor invites. However, it’s highly improbable that the 44-year-old will receive an invitation to a Major event.

Taking all factors into account, as the post gained traction on social media, the comments were filled with comparisons. Fans further pointed out that some LIV Golfers deserved more than the PGA Tour pro for this year’s U.S. Open. Significantly, it resulted in somewhat negative reactions towards Scott.

What are fans saying against Adam Scott?

One fan commented, “Lucky for him LIV players aren’t counted,“ possibly hinting at the presence of notable golfers like Patrick Reed in the Saudi-backed league. Reed, who finished T12 with 12 birdies and a total score of 289, is considered noteworthy. However, despite this, the pro remains on the brink of uncertainty due to his current OWGR ranking of #92.

Another fan pointed out similar factors, stating, “Many more deserving than he in LIV excluded by sham OWGR.“ This observation possibly underscores the fact that, despite the pro having participated in over 90 majors and only winning the 2013 Masters title, he still has a chance of receiving an invitation, whereas some LIV golfers do not.

This fan expressed mixed opinions, stating, “He should get an exemption. And I can’t believe I am writing this, but Sergio deserves one as well.“ It indicates that the LIV Golfer Sergio Garcia is considered deserving of an invitation, given his status as one of the most accomplished players in LIV.

A fan voiced their frustration by commenting, “Will get a sponsors invite surely. No brainer given his gravitas.“ It emphasizes as a tour member, the pro has consistently received invites to signature events. This time, the situation is likely to repeat itself, regardless of who may be more deserving.

This fan expressed their opinion, suggesting, “I understand it’s an “Open” event. But I think top 60 is a little short. Top 75 would make more sense.“ It could imply that pros like Cameron Smith from LIV would also have the opportunity to participate in majors if the organization decided to adjust the criteria.
