"DG Points are based on the difficulty to achieve a given result. For example the difficulty of finishing 2nd at Riyadh last year was similar to finishing 5th at WM so they receive similar points (3). The OWGR this week is giving [----] for 2nd at LIV and [----] for 5th at WM"

"However one wrinkle here is that we have LIV's first field of the season as significantly weaker than last year's. Our DG Points to the winner of '26 Riyadh will be around 75-80% of what it was in '25. So given this LIV is getting a pretty good deal on their OWGR points"

"@jschmidt139 @lennylaw @lawrencedonegan Probably just thinks its better for a talented kid to play (and win) elite amateur events instead of struggling on minor tours from ages 18-22. But Brown does seem to be really good. so might find success quickly as a pro"

"@jerichsen66 @LukeHartcher @Robopz You don't see the contradiction [--]. Field strength is defined by difficulty to win. [--].

"@BrentleyGC @Robopz @acaseofthegolf1 I'd like to see it go back to a normal tournament. Golf performance is random enough that we probably aren't going to get a matchup people want in the final.

"@ShaneRyanHere @BrentleyGC @Robopz @acaseofthegolf1 To me this format is a bit too gimmicky. What's wrong with 72-hole stroke play The placement stuff helps the telecast slightly but LIV has proven that nobody cares about watching top players play for just money and no other meaning"

"@ShaneRyanHere @BrentleyGC @Robopz @acaseofthegolf1 I guess I'm coming at it from the risk-averse perspective of making sure we don't hurt the value of the Tour Championship as a standalone event (which we currently have) and accepting that the FedEx Cup might be a secondary story some years"

"@ShaneRyanHere @BrentleyGC @Robopz @acaseofthegolf1 Ya I'm fine with that too would just prefer for it to be decided with stroke play. The odds of getting an elite finish in a match play event are super low: two top players need to make the final and then we need the final match to be close"

"@ShaneRyanHere @BrentleyGC @Robopz @acaseofthegolf1 Yeah that's a pretty good list. It's something we might have to experience to know how it would be.

"@mckinleyslade @robpizzola @RufusPeabody @KirkEvans0 There is also a subtle difference here between "skill separation" (the coefficient from the skill regression) and variance.

"However one wrinkle here is that we have LIV's first field of the season as significantly weaker than last year's. Our DG Points to the winner of '26 Riyadh will be around 75-80% of what it was in '25. So given this LIV is getting a pretty good deal on their OWGR points"
