A message from the editor:
I thoroughly enjoyed the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. It was a superb week, from the well-thought-out champions event on the Monday right through to the thrilling climax on Sunday afternoon, when Cameron Smith was a fully deserving winner.
Despite the quality of tournament, there’s no getting away from the fact that the main talking point in the media centre and the pubs about town was LIV Golf. Whether you like the concept of the renegade circuit or not, one thing is for sure – it wouldn’t be making the strides it has been were there not a genuine desire, and need, for more variety within men’s professional golf.
Where the LIV money comes from is certainly contentious and the idea of ‘sportswashing’ is obviously a concerning one. But if I look at it from a purely golfing perspective, then I do think LIV will accelerate the process of growing the game globally. But it’s not the only route. The PGA and DP World Tours can, and surely now will, also work hard to accommodate new formats and create a more exciting landscape for the elite men’s game, encompassing both traditional and more innovative aspects of the sport.
