Since the Official World Golf Ranking denied LIV Golf points, major championships have been the topic of discussion.
Phil Mickelson, Bryson deChambeau and other players have talked about a new category of exemption for those who made the leap to the upstart circuit headed by Greg Norman with financial backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
What would the LIV exemption category look like? According to a LIV official, an exemption for the 12 top players in the final points list would be logical. Fred Ridley , the chairman of Augusta National, has already rejected this idea. Keith Pelly, chief executive of the R&A, agreed. Let’s not let this get in the fun of an exercise.
It’s never too soon to start thinking of the majors, right? Here’s what the exemption categories for 2024 majors would look like with the Masters just a few days away.
