DORAL, Fla. — Phil Mickelson has a simple solution for the issue of majors relying on the Official World Golf Rankings to determine their fields: Don't stop there.
ExpandSUGAR GROVE, IL - SEPTEMBER 22: Phil Mickelson drives his first shot of the afternoon during the first round of LIV Golf Chicago on September 22, 2023, at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, IL October 18, 2023 at 10:20 am PDT
LIV’s lack of a direct pathway to the majors is a significant obstacle to the breakaway tour’s future growth. LIV players motivated by more than just the massive paychecks have, at the moment, no options to play in majors outside of existing exemptions , arduous qualifying tournaments, or a patchwork route of scratching together ranking points on smaller world tours.
Players like Mickelson knew there was the risk that they would be forfeiting a chance at OWGR points by jumping to LIV, and many — particularly those who would be further down in the rankings regardless — have accepted that tradeoff. But now that players like Dustin Johnson , Bryson DeChambeau , Mickelson , Cam Smith and Brooks Koepka have jumped to LIV, it’s factually impossible to argue that any field that excludes LIV players is “the best in golf.
