Talor Gooch’s Hot Take | PGA and LIV Golf Splitting Players and Diluting Talent

Talor Gooch’s Hot Take | PGA and LIV Golf Splitting Players and Diluting Talent.

Since October 2023, Talor Gooch has made it clear he wanted to be a part of the tournament and that he thinks he deserves to be there, stating: “We will see what they all decide, and you know, I hope I can be at the majors next year.”

So what does he do?

He drops this bomb: “If Rory McIlroy goes and completes his career Grand Slam without some of the best players in the world, there’s just going to be an asterisk. It’s just the reality.”

But is it really?

That’s like saying the LIV championship he won should have an asterisk since Rory isn’t playing at LIV.

So what’s the deal? Is he just salty, or is he onto something?

The truth is, it’s a bit of both.

While some may disagree, the reality is obvious.

The Masters, LIV, and the PGA tour have all been watered down since the splitting of the talent.

The Masters has turned into a kind of reunion for some, but not all, of the world’s top players. The world rankings, which determine who plays in these majors, are skewed because LIV players don’t earn points in their events.

The division between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf has created a situation where it’s uncertain when the top players will compete together again. This split has made golf even more niche, with majors lacking the same level of competition.

So when Talor Gooch says something as outrageous as there is an asterisk on Rory’s potential win at the Masters, he’s not all that wrong.

And surprisingly, Rory’s response to it was not what everyone expected.
