How should 2K & EA handle the PGA vs LIV issues?

Re: How should 2K & EA handle the PGA vs LIV issues?

But their normal guidelines include *some* things that LIV players (currently) aren't eligible for such as world ranking points and a few events for them to potentially play in and win to earn an invite.

Good point.

I expect they’ll adjust those qualifications if they need to.

Interesting...looking at the Masters qualifications, I picked out Brooks Koepka. He's exempt into the Masters, based on wins in the PGA and US Open...but only for next 2 years. If they don't give LIV access to OWGR points...and he's played the LIV tour next year and the year after, he won't qualify for Augusta - assuming he falls out of the top 50 by then.

I guess he could play well at other majors between now and then and get back in, but this is all very muddled.

Would they alter their qualifications in 2025, just so Brooksie can get in the field after two seasons of subpar major results and his play in the LIV? Who knows, but it seems odd no matter what.

Also, Phil's lucky he won at Kiawah, in terms of playing in US Opens, Open Championships, and PGA Championships for the next few years.
