BRYSON DECHAMBEAU MAKES FRESH CLAIM ABOUT LIV GOLF’S OWGR SITUATION

Bryson DeChambeau has claimed LIV Golf have fulfilled the Official World Golf Ranking requirements, despite what has been said.

Bryson DeChambeau claims LIV Golf have fulfilled the criteria set out by the Official World Golf Ranking.

On the latest episode of LIV’s Fairway To Heaven podcast, DeChambeau stated his opinion.

The American talked about his future personal objectives, creating content, his plans for further education, and how his parents have influenced his career.

“Jon DeChambeau, the father of DeChambeau, passed away at the age of 63 in November. The golfer has clearly been greatly affected by his father’s death.”

But one topic that got DeChambeau particularly riled was the subject of world ranking points.

In case you have somehow managed to avoid the news, LIV Golf are not accredited by the OWGR.

It means their players have been struggling to get into major championships.

Joaquin Niemann became the first LIV player to be invited to the Masters and to many it appeared Augusta National were extending an olive branch.

But the Chilean’s inclusion is owing to the fact he is a former Latin America Amateur Champion who also won the Australian Open in January.

For two years there has been a debate on whether LIV should or shouldn’t be given OWGR accreditation.

DeChambeau has repeatedly addressed the topic over the past 24 months. Likewise his peers and LIV chief Greg Norman.

The aforementioned Norman reportedly told LIV players they would be getting points. He recently described the situation as ‘laughable’.

To some LIV critics, the solution is more than simple. You want points? Fulfil the requirements. DeChambeau contends LIV have.

“I have words that I’d love to say but I can’t about it,” DeChambeau said.

“They said ‘you need certain requirements’, we have fulfilled all those requirements, despite what everybody thinks.”

He continued: ” “If you refer to their manual, you will see that we have met all the requirements.

It has been more than two years. Can someone explain what is happening?” “We are feeling some frustration, but there is currently nothing we can do about it.”

“If we perform well in the big tournaments, they won’t be able to ignore us.”

“We must perform convincingly in the major tournaments, and when we do, they will have no option but to acknowledge our success.”

DeChambeau doesn’t need to be concerned about his ranking in order to qualify for the majors at the moment because he is currently ranked 169th in the world.

His win at Winged Foot in the 2021 U.S. Open has secured the exemptions he requires until 2024.

However, these exemptions will not be permanent.
Before the podcast ended, DeChambeau proposed a straightforward solution to unite the golf community.

He stated that the egos need to be set aside by everyone involved, and if this can happen, it will be a positive development for the world of golf.
