So how will a players career be defined now ? It's always been majors, Masters is invitational obviously so it's up to them who they invite & they may blackball them. Will a major win be diluted now if more and more bigger names go to LIV ?

prob should have an asterisk

majors will have very weak fields going forward 

Weak fields going forward??? Unless you know something the rest of us don't, not sure how that's the case.
As things stand nobody of note missing this year, likely to be same next few years too, but even if DJ, Bryson, reed were out, that wouldn't dilute the field. Looking at upcoming US Open they're 46/1, 120/1 and 130/1 to win, so hardly much of an asterisk needed.

I think it's obvious more will follow to LIV though

There has already been 3 recent major winners join LIV, inevitable that more top golfers will go too.

the more top 50 players joining LIV makes PGA majors weaker obviously

cnuts like scheffler, speith, berger, koepka, kisner, bradley, etc will not hesitate to switch when the time is right

staggered signings looks better for the saudis too

You seem to be under the impression that LIV membership will preclude them from appearing in majors.

[Mikhail Prokhorov]

some will be able to play a few now but unless they get ranking points they won't get in

LIV don't have ranking points

LIV don't have ranking points

They have to take more players as the fields aren't big enough to qualify for ranking points at the minute

McIlroy heading into the final round in joint first place. Justin Thomas must be the biggest threat, but let's hope Rory ends his barren spell.

Rory's going well so I'm having difficulty squaring that with today actually being a Sunday!!

Just enjoying 2 big names going at it this has been brilliant from both so far.

Few twists and turns on the way in no doubt.

Rose playing out of his skin.. backed him each way at 80/1 today !!

Maybe Rory should dump Harry Diamond and use Niall O'Connor for the US Open, lol.

[Hoof Hearted]
