Royal & Ancient (R&A) CEO Martin Slumbers blasted the rebel LIV Golf Series as a disruptive money driven enterprise not in the best interest of the sport on Wednesday, prompting the governing body to examine how players qualify for future Opens.
anniversary party in full swing, Slumbers interrupted the celebrations to deliver a blistering rebuke of the Saudi-backed venture that is threatening to tear apart the sport.
“Professional golfers are entitled to choose where they want to play and to accept the prize money that’s offered to them,” Slumbers told reporters. “I have absolutely no issue with that at all.“I believe the model we’ve seen at Centurion and Pumpkin Ridge is not in the best long-term interests of the sport as a whole and is entirely driven by money.
With limited 48 player fields many of the prominent names like major winners Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka have been lured to the LIV Series by super-sized prize money and massive appearance contracts. Slumbers said the R&A has no immediate plans to ban any player but made it clear they will be reviewing their qualifying criteria without revealing what those might be.
