@jerichsen66@drrussellhogue@Daniel_Rapaport “How can a guy who wins 5 times on a season on a tour with the top end strength on LIV, not be exempt into all four majors?”—speaking of pointless questions. Pondering where’d he be had he stayed on tour is a valid question, one that I never gave my beliefs on.
@drrussellhogue@jerichsen66@Daniel_Rapaport That we can def agree on. Still the question remains, and as mentioned, no way of knowing, what Niemann would have been if he had stayed on tour. To me he’s the biggest question of any player that went to LIV.
@jerichsen66@drrussellhogue@Daniel_Rapaport Yup and Niemann was 15th in the world, had won 2x, was younger. Doesn’t negate the question, what would he have done had he stayed on the tour. If your answer is, gotten “worse” like your 2examples, that’s fine. It’s hypothetical and no one ones for sure.
@drrussellhogue@jerichsen66@Daniel_Rapaport You’d think an early 20s golfer would have natural maturation. The question is valid, wondering if it would be greater had he stayed on the tour. Your sample size of 1 golf tournament doesn’t have statistical meaning. And who on LIV couldn’t keep their card but beat pgas best?
