From calling livv golf dead in the water to eventually swimming in lv’s very Waters the PGA tour’s bravest Knight Rory mroy has had many changes of heart about what’s good for golf and what’s not but there’s one thing about him that he’ll never change he’ll stand by

Everything the tour does every time the tour does something hard to defend there’s one man who takes it upon himself to do the deed mroy and he’s done it again this time the chief critic of livv golf had to explain why it was the big deal for the PGA Tour to adopt

The same strategic changes to its format that it criticized the rebel league for and guess what the four-time major Champion says he loves the new adaptations the tour has made oh yeah you heard that right it looks like the rebel league has had a bigger impact on

The workings of the tour than its members care to admit the Shambo second on the way from 183 yards so much so that even players like Rory have to surrender to the new ways of the game but what exactly is this episode of the northern Irishman coming

To the tourist Rescue all about I hear you ask well recently ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational to be exact the tour dropped a bombshell so it turns out that the PGA Tour is also now also going to introduce limited fields and no cuts for the designated events that

Already have higher purses than ever before change the complexion of this in Rory’s mind spot on next right in the middle and there he is he’s back on top by this no cut system is dangerously close to utter blasphemy when it comes to traditional golf because their traditional game is all about the

Players having the danger of missing the cut even the Stars miss the cut at times having a limited field of around 70 to 78 players where every player has a guaranteed 72-hole run doesn’t really align with the tour’s rules of Merit or what now looks like the tour’s former

Rules of merit-based play and for this very reason the PGA Tour and those loyal to it were slamming the Saudi backed League the whole past year the way they saw it the rebel League was destroying golf by taking away all the challenging parts and of course when it comes to to

Slamming livv golf two players come to mind melroy and Tiger Woods the northern Irishman was throwing Jabs at the defectors for choosing to downgrade to Bad Golf for good money and woods thought that the no cut gameplay was taking away the incentive to practice

And to go earn it in the dirt and you might have forgotten all of this now at 6 here Frank I think a lot of people question but the livv defectors sure have it I’m sure the PGA stars are beyond happy that they’re getting more money and no cut events but there are

Others that are way happier right now the livv camp when the PGA Tour broke the news about these new changes that’ll be implemented in 2024 the defectors were quick to react it was their moment Ian polter took to Twitter to comment about the pga’s new model saying it

Looked pretty similar to a certain product that the media and commentators have been speaking badly about also Lee Westwood was not going to comment was he he mocked the Tour by pointing out how he spent his last year hearing how good full fields and cuts are and while they

Didn’t hold back it was actually the livv golf’s official official account that posted the spiciest most sizzling tweet here’s what it said imitation is the greatest form of flattery congratulations PGA Tour damn straight for the jugular and there was Phil Mickelson with a whole other story he revealed that before jumping ship to

Livv he had suggested the PGA Tour bring forth some similar changes but they didn’t hear him out for a second here’s what’s interesting about Phil’s Revelation though it confirms that it was only lv’s impact that could persuade the tour to change its ways interestingly even mroy doesn’t deny it

He says it’s all business the 33-year-old believes that introducing modern rules to the tour was important because well that’s what the sponsors will want to pay money for C playoffs well it just feels like a quick cash grab for those guys which again like if that’s if that’s what the motivation is

Then I don’t fault anybody for doing that according to him the sponsors want the stars on the field for 4 days and a limited field with no Cuts provides just that now while this is sound reasoning no doubt the reason’s Under Fire from the PGA critics is that this is what

Greg Norman was saying about his product too but now melroy says that no cut tournaments were something livv invented there were the PGA World Championships and the CJ cup so yeah to him the new changes aren’t a big deal they’re just bringing in more of something that

Already existed within the PGA Tour and the tour commissioner Jay Monahan also thinks the new spin to the designated events will be a positive thing he believes it’ll be exciting for the fans to see the Stars play in these tournaments and while the irony of all this is incredible there’s a bigger

Problem neither mroy nor Monahan is thinking about I’m I’m focused on the PGA tour and and what we can do to continue to grow you know grow our business and they’re going about things trying to accomplish what they’re trying to accomplish it’s only good news for the stars the four-time major Champion

Was of the view that livv structure was designed to pay heavy money to only a few Stars which of course was a bad thing according to him something the tour wouldn’t dream of doing now it’s as if this same strategy is being applied to the PGA Tour and and while this might

Not be a big deal for the big names the lower ranked players are concerned take Ryan armor for example 213 y all over water over a grand stand so I think we’re looking at like five wood extra he’s ranked 318th in the world and he said that the limited

Fields will make the lower ranked players feel left out see there are no concrete plans as of yet but still chances are that these limited Fields would include only the top 70 ranked players so yeah you can see what Ryan’s worried about what makes it worse is that these designated events are also

Lucrative there’s big money here the rest of the events don’t have High purses so this basically means that the same group of players will get the opportunity to compete for heavy pools of money over and over again they’ve signed multi-million dollar contracts they’re playing for a lot of money um

Every one of them has said that they want to play less Golf and so now they’re going to play more Golf and the other players will be limited to playing the smaller less significant events which will as Ryan armor put it make them feel like mules he’s also a member

Of the players advisory Council so he remembers being in the meetings where these changes were discussed and he’s upset that even though the concerns of the majority of the players were raised the tour only ended up caring about the Stars interestingly the shock waves of the new announcement have gone all the

Way to Europe as well the DP tour has its concerns too among the people who criticized the pga’s no cut and limited field strategy was Richard Bland you come good shot though he’s long defected to the rebel League he still cares about his former circuit the DP tour Bland brought

Up an interesting aspect of the new changes The Limited Fields will mean that the 10 European players who get to participate each year after qualifying for the PGA Tour cards will no longer be able to come to play at these designated events and it’s true there’s hardly any

Room for the Europeans in the designated events now Bland accused the tour of not caring about the Strategic Alliance between the two circuits but mroy of course thinks it had to be done the four-time major Champion believes that the Europeans are more comfortable in their own landscape anyway and before

Everything else the tour must care about its members and its product or as he said it is what it is and while Rory has been successful in defending the irony of pga’s actions there’s something even he can’t deny boy were you right about the dark green grass though Billy that the

Presence of livv has made the tour look into its own weaknesses and changed the things that needed to be changed if you hear close enough somewhere in the distance you could hear Greg Norman say Told You So and undermine you whichever way they can um Rory doesn’t know

Anything right all due respects Rory he doesn’t know anything about Liv he knows something about the PGA Tour he sits on the pack Council and that’s the latest from Rory and his undying Fidelity to the PGA tour
