“You probably need…”: LIV golfer frustrated with abrupt schedule

LIV golfer Jediah Morgan was seen as quite frustrated with the abrupt and short schedule of the Saudi-backed league.

Morgan recently spoke with news.au.com about the short schedule in the league and wished that things would change in the future:

"I think a lot of the guys would like to see it grow to 18 events, but that’s from a young guy speaking. Others might like 14. You probably need to play a few more events each year to keep yourself sharp."

Jediah Morgan felt that there was some time off in the league and that a good golfer needs a few tournaments continuously to gather form:

"There's obviously quite a bit of time off with the LIV stuff at the moment, which is a little bit frustrating. Part of being a good golfer is playing a few tournaments in a row, and getting some form that way."

Later on, he slammed the Official World Golf Rankings system and felt it was broken. However, he hoped that things would change and points would be awarded for playing in the LIV golf league.

"If they don't change that in the future, and LIV does everything right (to be awarded points) the world ranking system’s broken. It's actually already broken. It's already pretty screwed up."
