players. I like some of them more than others. But if you leave, you don’t get to complain. I’m not sure Bryson is complaining. Seems other people are complaining for him.

Absolute hogwash that Bryson isn’t on Olympic team

The PGA lost its way. I'd take drunk Bryson over Clark right now. Link..

USA seems to not like taking its most popular athletes in the sport

It's not about popularity. Bryson should be on the team because he's better than Clark. It's that simple. Note that no

HarlemCoug

Agreed, and leaving off the most popular guy in the sport is a loss for the fans

Wyndham Clark is not deserving.

No need to fight this battle...Bryson knew this when he made the move to LIV

Why are some trying to defend this corrupt system? Blaming the victim never looks good. This is on the PGA, not

Yes, Bryson, who took all LIV money, tried to destroy the PGA tour is the victim

Some are intent on making sure they pay a price for leaving their beloved tour.

Nope. Some are arguing that they want to see America’s best in the Olympics.

You're acting as if Bryson didn't know what the implications were.

I am serious. The last few weeks Bryson has been better. He’s hot.

Good point. Clark has been better than Bryson in PGA Tour events.

Lots of people have been better than Bryson in LIV events apparently.

Bryson isn't even the top 10 in LIV's tour

Don’t bring stats into this. He’s clearly #1 in our hearts and #15 in LIV.

Your boy Jope thinks Bryson is worthy based on golf alone. Take it up with him.

He probably is. He’s hot. But even Bryson understands:

Bryson had as much opportunity to play on the Olympic team as anyone else. But

The issue is that OWGR is becoming a joke, but is still treated as if it’s not.

garyfan

So what’s your solution? Have you offered one?? Golf is the most fickle game

I’m not blaming “the victim”, he is playing amazing and I love what he is doing right now

JOPE

Jun 18, 8:37am

LIV players can earn OWGR points by playing outside the US. Bryson chose not to.

They are the top 4 Americans in the OWGR?

Corruption is the only explanation as to why the 2nd best player in the US is left off a 4 player team.
