It's definitely a step in the right direction. Louis not getting an invite is puzzling though. Not only has he played well on LIV but he also won TWICE in South Africa last year.

In a perfect world, the LIV vs PGA rivalry will equal the Ryder Cup. Everyone wins. The PGA stars, the LIV stars, and the worldwide golf audience. Even TV ratings! I think it is a brilliant move. Golf needs open competition. It adds the dimension that has been missing.

I think that everyone is making a mistake by overlooking Sergio Garcia. Go look at the results from the current LIV Golf season. You will see that Sergio, the old man Spaniard now, is playing some GREAT golf.

Ogletree also got an invite. On the other hand, Oostie and Ancer are top 5 in LIV this year and didn't. Improvement, but if the majors would develop their own rating system, or if one of the majors would take the initiative to develop one, the majors would be the dominant force in golf if they aren't already

This is the first break in the armor that I've seen yet. It's the first time we've seen invites not linked solely to non LIV events. Still fewer players than last year though. Oosthuizen and Garcia missing is a travesty. It's not like they lose anything by having more top players there. They want a field of 100 for goodness' sake. Still, could be a good sign of things to come.

Top ranking LIV players each year should be in all majors, just like the top ranking PGA and DP are eligible.

Hey BACK 9 FILMS, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

So the question comes down to: do the players make the tour or does the tour make the players. I am of the opinion that the tour makes the players. I can certainly enjoy the tour stops and majors without the LIV players involved. Maybe the reason attendance is down has to do with the exhorbitant prices being charged for parking, entry, concessions, etc. Maybe it is pricing itself out for the average breadwinners. If the average person cannot afford a tournament nowadays, why watch it on TV either.

Before even watching it's Oosthuizen that's missing. Wtf?

Have not seen anything of LIV golf since the start, someone said they are playing resort golf i shorts.....

The first time ever, you agreed with Phil then this is the first time ever you’ve been right.

Louis received an invitation but declined due to health issues. Didn't know he was injured.

16 in total ..? Now worth watching for sure!

Top 24 LIV players should be in.

great show my friend........go 4aces

Yeah we all know how fantastic Meronk is. Missed the cut, second from bottom at The Masters. And he should have been the pic instead of Aberg in Ryder Cup! Never hear u comment on that

WHY is there a random zippered pocket on your top ?

Dean Burmeister playing worth a dollar long shot

If Liv golf wants to be eligible for world golf ranking they need to play 72 hole championship.....😮

Where is Louis Oosthuizen...? The pro-PGA Majors obviously have something against Louis... I would back Brooks, Cam Smith and Dean Burmester to take the win.

The Majors have their own question to answer, do they want the best field or do they want a diluted field? How do we define the best players, currently it's the OWGR which as we know is not capturing all the best players. You can blah blah all you want about not playing the PGA tour, but clearly Liv has a few of the best and several major winners, so for the people running the major's they need some kind of resolution or there is potential question mark over the winner going forward if potentially some players are missing i.e. not invited. Now it is clear the people running the PGA Championship recognise some Liv players should be invited, they understand the OWGR are compromised. Liv have indicated they are open to 72 hole events if needed, maybe that is a way forward? Of all the golf event's I watch, it's The Open, Masters and PGA Championship followed by the US Open, then Australian Open, Australian PGA and the Scottish Open. I hope that all PGA/PIF talkfest come to an agreement soon so we can get back to seeing the best in all the big tournaments.

I am sure their invite was more from pressure from the sponsors. How can you have some of the best players in the world not playing in major tournaments.

LIV golf now has the majority of the best golfers in the world. Fact. Time for common sense to prevail and find a solution for the two tours to work alongside one another.

Think Scottie leaves for LIV if pgatour doesn’t get the PGA to make Jefferson County Kentucky end this ridiculous case?

Louis did get an invite but turned it down

PGA tour would be much better if they had ALL the best players available to play

Good move pga

I think top 10 Liv golfers in the standings should be exempt into the majors

Hiw about listing the six in a pinned comment. Geeeesh.

The PGA has noticed a decline in the popularity of the recent events and realized the need to add more star power. Offering invitations to leading LIV players is the obvious move. If the LIV players finish at the top of the leaderboard it will expose the fallacy of the world ranking system and perhaps initiate need revisions in the system.

Credit to the PGA for crediting some of the LIv accomplishments; as is obviously neeed. That being said Sergio leads a list of LIv players who should have been invited. Sad to see Oostheisen had to decline his offer. reminder: the pga Tour can at any point also bolster their fields with LIv players …and they can have this without selling their assets or making any deals or anything. LIv is literally not denying their players from doing anything outside of their 14 week schedule. Last time I checked there was still 52 weeks in a year.

No Sergio is too bad. I like Sergio a lot and would love to see him there over a lot of the others

Poor Loui 😔

Well, well, well..... Greg Norman withdraws from OWGR.... And LIV players still get invites to Majors. CHECKMATE. OWGR is now officially useless.

Louis got an invite, but declined.

Jay gonna be mad...

LIV is so much more fun to watch with the team players. It is great!

Why no John Rahm ??? So once again this just PGA looking stupid

I really don't know why we're still talking about why some LIV golfers aren't going to be at the majors. They knew what was going to happen once they joined that tour. They decided to take the money and run. I personally feel that they shouldn't be allowed invites. You have players who have stayed with the PGA, and worked hard for ranking points etc. Yes, there are great players on LIV, but there are a lot more great players that will be on show at the upcoming major. Phil Mickelson has caused ripples since he joined. He was the advert for taking the money. This was probably to pay off his gambling debts. He's become very bitter towards a tour that's given him so much. Shame on him.

Liv is here to stay. I believe Bryson Dechambeau will be a contender this year

Are you sponsored by LIV golf?

Reed should never be given a spot, he needs to be shown the door out of golf! Who wants to play with him when you have to watch him the whole round?

Sanctions are funding Liv. If you look at the increase in oil revenues to Arab states since the sanctions on Russian oil the amount spent on Liv in sign on fees and prize money is a drop in the ocean.

PGA Championship is run by the PGA of America, which is mainly a body for club and teaching professionals. They have got NOTHING to do with Jay Monahan's PGA Tour. BRAVO !! to the PGA Championship ... .you see GREAT organizations make great decisions ...

For gods sake they went to Liv to play less golf.How on earth can they play both tours ? They are only playing against say 20 top players not against 160 pga tour players.Plus the courses they are playing look set up for birdies so the crowd can yell and hoop as the ball feeds to the hole!

With a large drop in viewers watching golf in the USA, changes are being made.

Puig is not the best choice from LIV, there are other LIV players that are outperforming him by far.

Seth Waugh’s job is to repeat what his wealthy patrons tell him to say. And to toss their salads on command.

It's been almost 3 years since LIV formed. How long do we keep talking about how good these guys are? No other sport carries ranking points for that long. If you qualify then fine. If you don't then too bad.

10 to 1 a LIV will win the PGA

Of course LIV matters. I didn't watch gilf on TV apart from The Masters and Open highlights. I can put 4/5 hours aside to watch golf. OWGR is now a joke and biased. DATA GOLF is the way to go.

What about DJ & Koepka? They are only inviting guys they think they can lure back into the fold. It's not about the competition.

Outta sight, outta of mind! Just don’t care about the livers! I think that the consensus of the golf groups I play with (around 30 players) don’t give a sh** about LIV!

Free to watch on KZfaq and yet no one is watching it. I have tried to watch but just can’t get into it. It just seems meaningless. As a result I now hardly watch any golf other than the 4 majors. The LIV players are just the personal Jesters for a couple of Saudi billionaires.

I won’t watch this major, I don’t watch anything that has Patrick reed in it, ill keep tabs, but think he should be done because of all his crying he has done and all the legal bs.Who are these players they invited? Are the “big” names of LIV golf going to be there already? They purposely not inviting them? Honestly, I hate the direction golf has gone and the division. I play more LIV style golf when I go, 4 of us, usually adult drinks and music going, but the traditional style of golf is a dying breed. Every other sport has been adapting over time but golf is reluctant, slowly change things over the years, trial and error and pick what works. LIV is more of a modern golfer style and the average golfer and PGA is your old style that many play but not as much as people think. Also KZfaq style golf is starting to become a thing.

I’ve quit caring about any player playing for LIV and I don’t care that they are not at the PGA, even Jon or Phil or Bryson and Brooks. I would rather they play there golf games, have fun, collect their money and go about their lives. These people made their beds, now they have to sleep in it.

LIV is a snooze fest.

LIV survives because of money, only, only greed, won't watch.

Not interested in liv players winning

LIV Golf: where old-golfers-that-used-to-be-good go to die. What a fckn _joke_

All LIV players should be banned from ALL majors.

Not one will make the cut. That is why they were invited. LIV is a joke. Mickelsen is a Joke. By the way, LIV has exactly one real good player, Rahm. Screw LIV.

Liv vs PGA Super Bowl prize money 25 million or bigger 😂👍🏾🤌🏾🤔😎top ten for 4 days 😮
