Rules:
Pick a foursome - one golfer from each group (A, B, C, D). Scoring is best ball by hole in each round. Lowest 4 round score wins. Team must be posted prior to the first tee time.

Tie Breaker #1 - Final round score of the winner.

Tie Breaker #2 - Total four round score of the winner.

OK, my knowledge of the PGA is minimal at best.

The US Open is ran by the USGA. The R&A runs The Open. Qualifiers and those with exemptions are still free to play them. Unless the World Golf Rankings adapts a way to include LIV results (or even agrees to do so) not sure how Liv players qualify next year. Same applies to the Masters

Do they not have to have a PGA membership to play though?

It seems like they may be cut for future Opens though.

I don’t like how the LIV Tour is backed. I have zero problems with how the players are compensated. Those are two different things. I think the PGA Tour is hurting their image by being so aggressive about defectors.

They would likely have to go through traditional qualifiers, or as I mentioned above, hope the World Golf Rankings figures out a way to continue ranking them.

I also imagine the ten years exemptions for previous US Open winners and 5 year exemptions for the other major won’t change. Meaning Mickelson for example will have four more US Open opportunities. That would affect Reed and DeChambeau as well.

I believe for both the US Open and Open this will hold true. Plus the qualifying if they desire. The Masters and PGA Championship are the two that the PGA will have to sweet talk in supporting their cause vs LIV.
