'If You Win A LIV Event, There Are Only 13, You Should Be In All The Majors'
- Kevin Na believes anyone who triumphs at a LIV Golf tournament should earn an exemption into each of the subsequent Major
The article discusses the debate over whether winners of LIV Golf events should automatically qualify for the four major golf championships. LIV Golf, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has a limited schedule of 13 events, which contrasts with the PGA Tour's extensive calendar. The argument for inclusion in the majors hinges on the prestige and the high level of competition at LIV events, suggesting that winning one should be a significant enough achievement to warrant entry into the majors. However, the majors have their own qualification criteria, and currently, LIV Golf winners do not receive automatic exemptions. The piece highlights the views of various golf figures, including LIV Golf's CEO Greg Norman, who believes that major championships should recognize LIV winners, and contrasts this with the perspective of major organizers who are cautious about altering their qualification standards. The discussion also touches on the broader implications for the sport, including the ongoing rivalry and potential for reconciliation between LIV Golf and traditional tours like the PGA Tour.
