PGA introduces 8 ‘no-cut events’ starting in 2024

Golf, which is supported by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund?

The PGA Tour announced on the 2nd that it has decided to hold eight tournaments without cuts with only 70 to 80 players from next year through the approval of the policy committee, which includes members of the Athletes Committee, including Rory McIlroy.

In the meantime, the PGA Tour has only played some tournaments without cuts, such as the Sentry Tournament of Champions, The CJ Cup, and the Jojo Championship. Participation in this tournament has been limited to the 50th place in the FedEx Cup rankings last year, the 30th place in the world rankings, the 10th place in the FedEx Cup rankings held near the venue, and the winner of the tour event.

However, as the rules were relaxed, all players on the PGA Tour received prize money like LIV. In LIV Golf, 48 players played 54 holes without cuts to determine the winner. 안전놀이터

LIV sarcastically said on social network service (SNS), “Welcome to the future of the PGA Tour,” and Lee Westwood (UK), who is active in LIV, pointed out that “the 72-hole tournament with cuts is a real golf.” I posted an article.

However, the PGA plans to continue with 72 holes instead of 54 to maintain world ranking points. The PGA Tour has stuck to 72-hole tournaments with cutouts. In particular, he criticized the 54-hole tournament held by LIV as ‘fake golf’.

McIlroy, who is in conflict with LIV, emphasized, “The problem with competitions without cuts is that LIV has appeared.” In addition, Scotty Scheffler and Max Homa (USA) welcomed the change, saying, “Golf will be more interesting if the world’s best players play against each other often.”
