Is it his current 178th place in the world ranking, him the winner of the US Open 2020 at Winged Foot, which forces him to come out of the trench once again and castigate the OWGR (Official World Golf Ranking) which does not recognize still no LIV Golf? On the sidelines of the fifth stage of the season this week on the Tour led by Greg Norman, Bryson DeChambeau did not mince his words.
Bryson DeChambeau, statements
“The world ranking as it is today no longer means anything,” he said. I seriously think they need to find a solution because it is becoming totally obsolete. If the Major Tournaments and the other Rounds continue like this with the same point counting system, they are going to bite their fingers.
I find this very disappointing and to be honest, completely unfair. » The American has thus stepped up to the plate following in particular the decline in the world rankings of his colleague, Talor Gooch, winner of the Australian stage in Adelaide, now 59th (-2 places).
“I do not understand that they take such a position, regrets DeChambeau. When we examine a situation, we must always try to make sense of things, weigh the pros and cons. But here, that is not the case. We are faced with a fait accompli.
This is how it was, this is how it should be and this is how it should stay. However, to innovate is to move forward. I hope they will soon understand it because otherwise they will no longer be in the game… ” Asked about the PGA Tour and whether he missed this circuit that saw him born, the California bomber based in Texas replied in the negative: “There are certain tournaments that I miss, it’s true, like the Memorial for example.
I loved playing it. But in this story, they have had the most to lose. They are the ones who suspended us…” At the last world ranking updated on April 23, 2023, only six members of LIV Golf still occupied a place in the top 50: Cameron Smith (8th), Joaquin Niemann (26th), Abraham Ancer (37th), Brooks Koepka (39th), Patrick Reed (46th) and Thomas Pieters (48th).
