  • Kevin Na said that anyone who wins a LIV event should then receive an invite to all four majors. Here's why he's wrong.

The article discusses Kevin Na's perspective on whether LIV Golf winners should gain direct access to major golf tournaments. Kevin Na, a former PGA Tour player who joined LIV Golf, believes that winners of LIV Golf events should automatically qualify for majors like the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship. However, the article argues against this view, stating that LIV Golf, despite its high-profile players and significant financial backing, does not yet have the historical prestige or the same competitive field as the established majors. The piece points out that LIV Golf's format, with its 54-hole events and no cut, differs significantly from traditional golf tournaments, which might not justify an automatic entry into the majors. Furthermore, the article suggests that the majors have their own qualification criteria, which are based on a broader and more traditional set of achievements, and altering these for LIV Golf could undermine the integrity and tradition of these prestigious events.
