As the world rankings of Greg Norman’s biggest stars continue to plummet, his players know time is on the wane for a majors revamp.
One of LIV Golf’s biggest stars has urged the four majors to have a significant re-think of their qualifying criteria or risk having their tournaments “devalued” due to the world rankings stalemate.
DeChambeau’s own five-year exemption to all four majors ends next year and he faces an uncertain future in golf’s biggest events unless a resolution is found.“If great golf is on the top of the list – say, Talor Gooch– he should be playing . Give us an exemption criteria for that. But with LIV having withdrawn their world rankings application, the likes of Brooks Koepka , Australia’s top star Cameron Smith , DeChambeau , Phil Mickelson , Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia have plummeted down the world rankings and, in coming years, will face greater difficulty qualifying for majors.Smith has only a scant chance of earning one of two Australian spots for the Olympic Games unless he can win a major before Paris.
Talor Gooch, who topped Smith to be crowned LIV Golf’s individual champion last year, wasn’t invited to this month’s Masters and said before the event the winner should have an asterisk next to their name given it would be missing several LIV stars.“Unfortunately, it’s political so there’s no magic solution,” Gooch said of the majors dilemma after another bumper day at LIV Golf Adelaide at The Grange Golf Club on Saturday.
