The viability of a golf league to compete with the PGA Tour has always hinged on a single point: How many tour pros would be willing to play on the rival circuit?
Dustin Johnson put an end to any speculation about his playing future by saying he is committed to the PGA Tour moving forward and will not jump to the prospective Saudi-backed golf league.
Here’s what few if any of the players competing in this week’s Saudi International want to discuss: the so-called Super Golf League that appears to be creeping ever closer to some sort of inauguration.
The OWGR uses a rolling two-year period to calculate a player’s average points per event, but if it only went back 52 weeks, things would look a lot different.
Tour players are required to get a waiver to compete on other tours, and now that the Saudi event is no longer part of the European Tour, the PGA Tour told Golfweek that it will deny requests to play in it.
