LIV Golfers: Andrew Coltart, a former Ryder Cup competitor, discusses a hectic start to the DP World Tour season and offers his opinion on Ian Poulter’s remarks regarding a potential future appearance for Team Europe.
With back-to-back Rolex Series events awarding enormous points — nearly three times as many as a regular-season event — this is a crucial fortnight for the DP World Tour to start the new year.
These two competitions offer a fantastic chance to start your season strong and maybe get entry into the Ryder Cup later this year, so they are highly important competitions.
Although superstars like Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick may not be present, there is no denying that we still have a tonne of big names and tremendous depth.
There were several impressive performances in the Hero Cup last week, and many players may take a lot of confidence from that into the upcoming weeks. There is a lot of new talent on the DP World Tour to keep an eye out for, however, some will have more to prove than others.
LIV members involved in Abu Dhabi
Remember that these LIV players’ records remain unaffected by their decision to go to another league; their records remain intact and must unquestionably be honoured.
These players raise the overall level of the field because they are still folks I enjoy watching and still play some amazing golf.
Nevertheless, given that some members are presently suing one another, it’s challenging for the rest of the group to see this with anything other than a modicum of hostility. It’s quite difficult.
There is a blank and a separation between the regular members and some of the players who have chosen to play in a different setting, however, you can see one or two LIV golfers practising and playing together.
They made that decision, therefore they now have to deal with the repercussions that will follow. There is some friction on the practise green and on the links as a result of that.
I find it hard to believe that these players made that leap and believed that everything would turn out as they had hoped. There had to be repercussions, and as a result, they are currently in a precarious position.
