But you assume he'd now be top 5 in the world in a harder competition?

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.

This we can all agree on

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

HarlemCoug

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

"tried to destroy the PGA tour"? Wow...

He tried to sue the PGA, tried to convince others to join LIV

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

Some are arguing people shouldn't be held accountable for their choices. Odd

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’ve never once even suggested Bryson didn’t know what the consequences were

Right, you're saying the consquences of his actions shouldn't apply to him

I’m saying there are solutions to make sure the fans get to see the world’s best

I'm not sympathetic that the rules should be changed because someone took $100M

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.

garyfan

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

Jun 18, 9:13am

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

garyfan

Jun 18, 9:17am

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

pink22

Jun 18, 9:22am

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.

JWin

Jun 18, 8:47am

They are the top 4 Americans in the OWGR?

BIG XII Coug

Jun 18, 8:50am

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

Corruption?? You mean rules, right?

corruption is the right word

Rules you don't like is corruption. Got it.

the goal of the Olympics is to get our best against the best in the world. A system that doesn't include Bryson is so

The Olympics is not a PGA event.

The PGA isn’t making the decision. It’s the world golf rankings.
