DORAL, Fla. — Phil Mickelson has a simple solution for the issue of majors relying on the Official World Golf Rankings to determine their fields: Don't stop there.
SUGAR GROVE, IL - SEPTEMBER 22: Phil Mickelson drives his first shot of the afternoon during the first round of LIV Golf Chicago on September 22, 2023, at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, IL DORAL, Fla. — Phil Mickelson has a simple solution for the issue of majors relying on the Official World Golf Rankings to determine their fields: Don’t stop there.
Qualifying criteria for each of the four majors differ slightly, but in general, players currently must be among the most highly ranked in the world, according to the OWGR, to earn entry.

Mickelson disputed that characterization on Wednesday without offering specifics. “I do want to bring to light as to why exactly they are doing what they are doing,” he said of the OWGR. “It's not what they are putting out there on the front page. There's a lot more going on behind the scenes.” He later suggested that an OWGR decision in favor of LIV would “undermine the TV contract and revenue of the PGA Tour if they gave points to LIV.
