However, following his decision to play for LIV Golf, things have changed for the star golfer. It has severely impacted his OWGR ranking. This issue was discussed on Twitter following his second LIV Golf win recently.
The famous professional golfer is ranked 128th in the world, at the moment. Bryson’s supreme skillset and mastery in golf surely do not match his current ranking. So it was obvious for his fans to question the ongoing system of rankings after seeing him ranked much, much lower in the OWGR.
But why is DeChambeau ranked 128 if he is in fact such a great golfer? This is because of DeChambeau’s move to LIV Golf. The Saudi-backed league has not met the OWGR criterion yet to offer points to its players. There is a possibility that LIV scores might get counted in the future following the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger. But there is still a long road ahead for that to happen.
A Twitter account tweeted, “This is the biggest joke in golf right now. Bryson is ranked 128th in the world! ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTH.” The mix of rage and disappointment could surely be sensed in this tweet.
The reaction seems to have come forth following DeChambeau’s LIV Golf- Chicago win. The ‘Mad Scientist’ is well-known for his golfing prowess, which is no longer a secret in the glorious world of golf. His golfing style matches the hype and fandom that he has grown to build through the years. His recent win only exemplifies his skill set. Fans were quick to share their opinions on the matter.
