Episode Description
The man who once denied LIV Golf world ranking points is speaking out again… and it might change everything.
In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding LIV Golf after former OWGR chairman Peter Dawson delivered some blunt criticism of the league’s success and fan engagement.
We break down Dawson’s comments, question whether bias may have influenced LIV’s ranking rejection, and discuss what Trevor Immelman’s new leadership at the OWGR could mean for LIV’s future. We also explore how recent leadership shakeups at both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf might finally clear a path toward official world ranking points—and what that would mean for players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Joaquin Niemann.
Along the way, we share predictions for when LIV could earn OWGR recognition, debate how many points LIV winners should get compared to PGA Tour and DP World Tour events, and talk about why 54-hole and no-cut formats shouldn’t disqualify LIV under current OWGR standards. Whether you’re team LIV, team PGA TOUR, or just a golf fan who wants to see fair rankings, this episode takes an honest look at where the professional game goes next.
