LIV Golf World Reacts to PGA Tour's Plan for Events With Smaller Fields, No Cuts
The talk of the golf world Wednesday was the PGA Tour's schedule adjustments for 2024, specifically how its designated events will become more exclusive next year with limited fields and a no-cut format.
Designated events were created by the Tour for this season as a reaction to last year's launch of LIV Golf, which lured several PGA Tour stars away with a smaller schedule of limited-field, no-cut events with big purses.
The LIV Golf world showed out on social media to point out the similarities.
Lee Westwood, co-captain of Majesticks GC in LIV, chimed in with a retort on how the PGA Tour's stance a year ago differed from what was announced Wednesday.
Westwood's teammate and co-captain, Ian Poulter, went with the book-of-quotations strategy.
Talor Gooch found a Ted Lasso GIF to say "hi" and continue the theme of the PGA Tour looking just a little more like LIV with its marquee events.
Elsewhere in golf, Eddie Pepperell, a DP World Tour regular with 16 PGA Tour starts to his credit (his best finish was T3 at the 2019 Players Championship), had a measured thread about what it means to play professional golf with cuts.
