LIV Golf trio including Ian Poulter to miss Masters due to controversial decision
LIV Golf threesome including Ian Poulter to miss Experts because of disputable choice
An entire host of LIV Golf stars are set to pass up a spot at the following year’s Lords Competition, with Augusta Public supervisors expected to have one of its littlest fields for quite a while
Any semblance of Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and LIV Golf champion Talor Gooch are good to go to miss the following year’s Lords, with Augusta Public set to invite one of its littlest fields for quite a while.
As things stand apparently just 77 players will be in the field for the 2024 release which happens next April. Typically the field at Augusta is anyplace between 85 to 100 contenders, with 88 players getting welcomes to Augusta at the current year’s occasion.
After it was revealed that the organizers of the first major championship of the year would not be changing their qualifying requirements to allow more LIV stars to compete, the field has been reduced.
The breakaway association’s portrayal in Georgia is set to be restricted next April, in the midst of its continuous sit tight for world positioning places. There had been calls for the four major golf tournaments to create an exemption list for the best performers in LIV who had not yet qualified through other means.
Unfortunately for Poulter and co, Bosses boss Fred Ridley asserted that there would be no change to capability for 2024, however implied there could be a few modifications later on. ” Assuming you think back over the historical backdrop of the Bosses competition, and the capabilities that existed, we have changed those capabilities in various times, many times,” Ridley said in October.
“We check those consistently out. We don’t make changes consistently, yet we really do check out at them under the ongoing conditions. You may recall that last year, there was some speculation regarding our decision to invite LIV golfers. We remained consistent with our capability rules. We welcomed every individual who was qualified.
“While we don’t, right now, expect to roll out an improvement in 2024, we truly do constantly check out (exclusions), and we will keep on doing that. Our qualifications are always changing, and we adapt to what we think is best for a tournament that brings together the best players in the world. We’ll constantly check that out.”
Apparently the greatest oversight will be LIV’s 2023 individual boss Gooch. The American star won multiple times on the breakaway circuit this, prior year getting his hands on the season-long award subsequent to completing second in Jeddah behind Creeks Koepka in October.
While he handled a £14 million reward, the absence of world positioning focuses guaranteed he qualified for none of the four majors in 2024. Gooch, who recently joined Koepka’s Smash GC, hopes that despite the rejection, he will still be able to travel to Augusta in April.
“We will see what they [those accountable for the major championships] all choose,” Gooch told Mirror Game while contending at the Hong Kong Open in November. ” Furthermore, you know, I really want to believe that I can be at the majors one year from now.”
