Trouble in Paradise | Rahm’s LIV Golf Debut Flops

Trouble in Paradise | Rahm’s LIV Golf Debut Flops.

Imagine stepping up to tee off and finding out your score won’t count. That’s the curveball facing golfers like Carlos Ortiz in LIV Golf, where promises of OWGR points are as elusive as a perfect round. In this video, we’re diving into the bunker of LIV Golf’s challenges, the players’ reactions, and the pivotal decisions that could shape the future of the tour.

We’ll unpack why stars like Jon Rahm and other top players are teeing off in a league that’s yet to score with the Official World Golf Ranking system. From the initial drive to the final putt, we’ll explore the implications of this standoff and what it means for the players’ standings and the tour’s reputation.

Is this the end of the hype train, or just a minor setback for LIV?

And do people even care anymore?

If you stick around until the end, you’ll find out all the details and even get to see the results of the highly anticipated LIV debut for John Rahm.

The OWGR committee has written a clear message, denying points to LIV Golf events due to their unconventional format and exclusive player field. Because LIV has a 54-hole format vs the 72 on the PGA tour, the tournaments don’t mean a thing.

This is more than a simple snag; it’s a roadblock for players like Ortiz, who took their shot with LIV Golf expecting to play the game on a global scale. But without those points, their world ranking won’t budge. In fact, they are sinking lower and lower the longer they play there.

Points here’s what he had to say they definitely said that we were going to get them we haven’t got them but I just feel that people have to recognize that there are good players here you know and there’s a very legitimate reason behind this comment prior to signing with the

League Greg Norman the brainchild of Liv promised the pros signing with Liv that they would get owgr points for their tournaments but it’s been well over 2 years now and Greg Norman and his team have only hit Bogies but there is a reason for it the owgr committee has

Written a clear message denying points to live golf events due to their unconventional format and exclusive player field because Liv has a 54 hole format versus the 72 on the PGA tour the tournaments don’t mean a thing this is more than a simple snag it’s a roadblock

For players like Ortiz who took their shot with Liv golf expecting to play the game on a global scale but without those points their world ranking won’t budge in fact they’re sinking lower and lower the longer they play there how low when it comes to Ortiz he was ranked 115th

When he decided to move to the Liv circuit and now he ranks 1,229 in the world talk about trouble in Paradise and this situation is set to only get worse the long longer it goes on so what’s Liv’s game plan and do they even have one while talks of a merger

Have been on the table Littles happen to make it a reality the merger that’s supposed to have already been finalized is far from it if anything it looks like it’s about to fall apart and this leaves Liv in a tough spot while they were able to bring other players on board they may

Have trouble doing so in the future if they can’t sort out the points so will Liv switch the format to match the PGA this year or will the beginning of the end start there are some interesting stats on the viewership to give us some context on the future which we’ll get

Into in a second but even more important is the future of the players signing on while their Hefty payouts may keep them there initially the impact it will have on the players long-term standing May outweigh the benefits on one hand they’re playing for the big Stakes with

The kind of prize money that turns heads top that off with signing bonuses like John ROM’s deal worth half a billion dollars and it makes even the staunchest supporters of the PGA change their opinion on a die on the other hand the absence of owgr points makes their play

Less competitive and their future outside of Liv questionable these points are a big deal for pro golfers because they help show how good they are compared to players around the world without them it’s hard for players to climb up the rankings even if they’re playing really good and Carlos Ortiz

Isn’t the only one feeling this other players are in the same boat seeing their world rankings plummet faster than a shank off the first T big names like Bryson de Shambo dropped from the top 10 in 2022 to his current standing of 167th Sergio Garcia was ranked 57th only to dramatically slide to

575th Taylor gu was ranked 35th when he joined Liv golf in June 2022 and now stands at 394th and the list goes on so while it’s clear the world rankings don’t actually reflect anything except the p J’s hurt feelings from their best players leaving these players are being denied a shot at

Some of the world’s best tournaments as competitors they want to play the best and as of right now playing at Liv they don’t get the opportunity to do that to make matters worse the situation for Liv golfers and their ranking has taken another complicated turn a recent report

Has surfaced that advisers for Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund the financial backer of Liv golf are facing threats of imprisonment of up to 20 years years should they comply with a US investigation into the dealings between the PF PGA Tour and Liv gone this adds another layer of problems to the already

Contentious issue of owgr points for Live players potentially affecting the future progress of the tour and merger if there’s no merger that means live has to fend for itself and the players playing there have no choice but to sack their world rankings with such a bleak future the outlook for many of these

Players is not looking great especially when live viewership isn’t helping now you’d think bringing in a big fish like ROM would have fewers flocking right not quite the figures tell us a different story Liv’s golf fhip isn’t hitting those Eagle worthy numbers just yet in fact it’s more like they’re playing

Through a thick fog struggling to see where the next shot lands when we look at the stats the PGA Tours Pebble Beach event on CBS hit almost 2 million viewers on Saturday while Liv golf Saturday round pulled in just 168 ,000 on CW meanwhile other sports events are

Outpacing lived by leagues Pro Bowl snagged nearly 3.9 million on ABC a hefty 1.8 million on ESPN the college basketball rivalry Duke versus UNCC netted a solid 3.2 million on ESPN and an NBA clash between the Knicks and Lakers scored 2.7 million viewers on ABC

This just shows how far Liv has to go if it wants to compete on the big stage so why aren’t the crowd’s Gathering could it be that the fans are just slow to catch on or is something else at play they’ve got the Stars no doubt but do

They have the staying power to keep fans tuned in for now it seems unlikely however there was one bright spot recently that may change things a little John ROM’s debut at Maya COA now ROM’s arrival on the live Golf Scene was meant to be the Ace in the Hole the kind of

Big play that turns the tide and let’s be fair here he he put on a show tying for third and helping his team to clinch the win but the viewership well it took a swing upward with the final round drawing in 432,000 viewers which is a

Record for the tour it’s still a far cry from the PGA Tour this leads us to wonder what it’s going to take for Liv golf to gain credibility is this the end of the hype train the answer isn’t as straightforward as a putt on the practice screen it might be that fans

Are still loyal to the tradition Rich PGA Tour or or perhaps they’re just not aware of where and when Liv golf is teeing off whatever the case Liv golf needs to find its sweet spot with fans if it wants to compete in the viewership leaderboard as the next tournament

Approaches all eyes will be on those TV ratings a scorecard of sorts to see if live can swing its way into the hearts and screens of golfers around the world all right folks we’re at the 18th hole of our live golf tour and what a around
