“LIV golf must also be played up to 72 holes.”

Masters 'defending champion' Yon Lam (30, Spain) said this on the 9th, two days before the opening of this year's tournament.

Ram, ranked 3rd in the men's golf world rankings, left the PGA of America ahead of this season and moved to LIV Golf, which is sponsored by Saudi Abaria's sovereign wealth fund. 파워볼사이트

The Masters, known as the 'master competition', is the first major tournament of the season and PGA and LIV players will play together for the first time this year.

“If LIV Golf holds a 72-hole tournament, it will help avoid controversy,” said Lahm, who has yet to record a win at LIV, in an interview with the BBC.

Major men's professional golf tournaments around the world, including the PGA Tour and DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), determine the winner through 4 rounds of 72 holes.

LIV Golf, on the other hand, determines the winner over 3 rounds of 54 holes. In fact, LIV through 54 are expressed in Roman numerals. It is a name that contains the intention of increasing fan immersion by increasing the density of games. So LIV Golf may also have to change its name to LXXII Golf when it plays 72 holes. The reason Rahm insists on a 72-hole system is because of the world rankings. The World Golf Rankings (OWGR) does not award ranking points to LIV golf tournaments due to the short competition schedule. 19가이드03
