LIV Golf Attracts Pros, Raises Concerns

Bubba Watson supports Phil Mickelson's statement that LIV Golf will sign more marquee players for its third season in 2024. Watson reveals that there is interest from golfers wanting to join the league and suggests that eligibility for majors should be based on the money list rather than world ranking points. The status of the framework agreement between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and the Public Investment Fund that finances LIV remains uncertain, as does the eligibility of LIV players for the four major tournaments. Watson believes there will be a resolution allowing LIV players to compete in majors in the near future.
