Whether LIV Golf will be awarded points still remains a mystery. OWGR is thinking about the decision, and things have been going on for a long time. Norman and the leaders of LIV Golf are under a lot of pressure. They are aware of how important this decision is and what could possibly happen.
Reactions from golfers were not absent, as Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama reacted to the entire situation related to LIV Golf - OWGR. "I think they should be able to (have ranking points)," said Matsuyama who is playing at this week's Zozo Championship, as quoted by mirror.co.uk. "However, there's a procedure they'll have to follow." Matsuyama did not think long about his decision.
Loyalty to the PGA Tour was never in question. The Japanese feels great playing on the PGA Tour and knows what it brings him. "I'm a member of the PGA Tour. The players who left did so because they thought it was the right thing to do.
So I can't say anything about them."
Rory McIlroy reacted
Rory McIlroy is of the same opinion as the Japanese, but certain things from LIV Golf really bother him. McIlroy is one of the most vocal in the fight against LIV Golf.
He doesn't agree with their way of getting to the top. "If they meet the criteria they get world ranking points. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't, as long as they meet the criteria that is set out. The one thing that has been frustrating from the start of this is that they don't want to play by the rules that have been in place for so long.
It can't be one set of rules for a certain amount of people and then a certain set of rules for everyone else - everyone has to abide by the same rules here."
