Louis Oosthuizen is one of the four LIV Golf players who are playing the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship thanks to the invitation of Johann Rupert, deus ex machina of the event.
In an interview with Bunkered.co.uk, the South African touched on the delicate topic of World Ranking points.
Fifteen months have passed since LIV Golf submitted its application for accreditation to the OWGR.
In this long period we have seen the players of the Saudi League slide inexorably towards ranking positions which, by now, no longer reflect the objective value of the players (the only one who is in the high areas of the ranking is Brooks Koepka, by virtue of his victory at the PGA Championship, NDR).
Louis Oosthuizen, statementsAnd Oosthuizen's considerations start from here.
“It's not a world ranking”
“You could say it's a PGA Tour ranking more than anything.”
“It's ridiculous, if you are in the top 50 players in the world and you take part in all the elevated events, I don't see how you can get out of the 50, even if you don't play well”
“If this is a fair system, I'm happy not to be part of it”
“They (the PGA Tour, NDR) have the top players, but currently it is an absolutely unfair system, because there are 10 or 15 guys from LIV who should be in the top 50 in the world, if not even in the top 40”
“It's a problem that needs to be solved.”
Whoever has to solve it was nearby while they interviewed Oosthuizen.
Peter Dawson, president of the OWGR Board, present at the ongoing tournament in Scotland, was interviewed by Bunkered.co.uk regarding the status of the proceedings.
“We're close to finishing, and that's all I can say.”
The fact that Dawson played on Friday in Carnoustie in the same team as Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of the Saudi Sovereign Fund, could be a clue to support the OWGR Board member's statement.
What is certain is that the person who will emerge with broken bones from this long controversy will be the OWGR itself, as demonstrated by the repeated criticisms it has received.
