He had eight top-5 finishes and was the tournament runner-up three times. His play during, in fact, is what inspired his “Great White Shark” nickname. But he’s never experienced the course like he did Wednesday.
“There’s probably a couple that have been overlooked that should be in,” Norman said. “What is that number? I’m not going to give it a definitive number, but they’re definitely quality players that have done incredible performances over the last six to nine months that are worthy of it.” One such invite was extended for this year’s tournament. Joaquín Niemann has slid from No. 15 in the world rankings to No. 93, butEighteen LIV golfers qualified for last year’s Masters and that figure stands to shrink annually, absent OWGR points. Seven LIV players here are past Masters champions, and three others have won another major. Only two LIV players — Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk — qualified via the world ranking.
