Jon Rahm commented on the changes that have taken place in the golf scene. He is not happy with the moves of OWGR, which he thinks are ridiculous. “I’m going to be as blunt as I can. I think the OWGR right now is laughable,” he said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com “Laughable, laughable, laughable.
The fact that the RSM doesn’t have any of the top 25 in the world but has more points than this event where we have seven of the top 25 is laughable. The fact that Wentworth [for the BMW PGA Championship] had fewer points than Napa [for that week’s Fortinet Championship] is laughable.
Look, I understand what they are trying to do with the depth of field but having the best players in the world automatically makes the tournament better. I don’t care what their system says. I think they’ve made a mistake.
They have devalued the value of the better players. Would you rather win a tournament when you have the No. 1 player in the world or because you have the 30th? I think it’s more valuable if you’re beating the best players in the world.
I think a lot of people would agree and it should reflect that.”
Jon Rahm: LIV Golf does have some incredible players
Rahm commented on the decisions a few months ago and believes that it is necessary to find a compromise.
“LIV does have some incredible players and to say that Dustin hasn’t been one of the best players this year would be a mistake,” he added. “So I think LIV players could be awarded. I just don’t know the math, how we could work it out, and I don’t know if they necessarily deserve 100 per cent of the points.
“I think a lot of people are against them having world ranking points. I’m not necessarily against it but there should be adjustments.”
