LIV Golfers continue DP World Tour dominance after taking advantage of loophole
LIV Golf players proceed with DP World Visit predominance subsequent to exploiting proviso
Louis Oosthuizen, victor of the 2010 Open Title, won the Mauritius Open throughout the end of the week to proceed with the strength of LIV Golfers on the DP World Visit
LIV Golfers have overwhelmed the initial a long time on the DP World Visit after Louis Oosthuizen’s most recent triumph.
Saturday’s Mauritius Open victory was Oosthuizen’s second in as many weeks. At La Reserve Golf Club, the South African finished his final round at 17 under par, two shots ahead of second-placed Laurie Canter, another LIV Golf star.
Oosthuizen won only the second competition since 2018. The first came simply last week when the 41-year-old prevailed at the Alfred Dunhill Title at Panther Spring.
Oosthuizen’s progress in Mauritius on Saturday implies that five of the beyond six occasions on the DP World Visit have been won by players who are pursued LIV Golf. Oosthuizen joined the breakaway association in 2022 and completed 24th in the general standings to hold his spot for next season.
Joaquin Niemann won the Australian Open, while Senior member Burmester asserted triumphs at the Joburg Open and the South African Open. The two players contend on the Saudi-supported circuit, yet were as yet ready to contend in the particular competitions.
The PGA Visit has recently suspended players for participating in what they depict as “unapproved competitions” previously. Most as of late, Bosses champion Jon Rahm was given an endless suspension by the Visit after he marked a £450 million arrangement with LIV Golf.
In any case, because of a proviso with the DP World Visit, a few players who vie for LIV Golf are as yet ready to partake in specific occasions. Players who are given support exceptions are as yet ready to play in DP World Visit competitions.
Before winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship, Oosthuizen hadn’t won a tournament since the 2018 South African Open. He talked about how it felt to win his last two.
“Golf is the most peculiar thing,” Oosthuizen, victor of the Claret Container at St Andrews in 2010, told columnists after his last round at La Save Golf Club, by means of Golfweek.
“The most recent five weeks I’ve not done a ton with golf, I’ve played a couple of rounds and when I got to Panther Stream I was dealing with a little easily overlooked detail. I started hitting the ball well and I know I’m putting well, so I just kept up the momentum.
Oosthuizen continued, I’m happy I could pull this off this week, it’s kind of a little glimpse of heaven having the option to play a competition on a green you helped plan and wind up winning it. This is the main occasion my little girls have been to where I won, this is extremely exceptional.”
