Former World No.1 ranked golfer Adam Scott echoed Rory McIlroy's recent sentiments about golf being more global.
The 43-year-old Australian who is due to play a role in helping shape golf's future as a Player Director on the PGA Tour's Policy Board, would like to see more big names playing in big tournaments around the world, and would like the OWGR to adopt a more global approach, instead of being too focused on PGA Tour events.
"The World Rankings risk becoming irrelevant if they don't focus more on worldwide events. They need to find a good system. Otherwise, I fear it can become irrelevant," Scott said in Dubai of the OWGR changes.
"Obviously the PGA TOUR led the professional game for quite a while, and their events has always been popular in America and its the dominant place, but golf's popularity globally is growing quickly. It did so through COVID. Participation is up, and certainly my feeling the last couple of years, having played in Asia, Japan and Australia, is that there's increasing interest in the game.
And the fact that PGA Tour is in partnership with the DP World Tour, and other tours around the world are in partnership with the DP World Tour as well, it's important that there's some voice representing the rest of the world in the game, and that it is more than just the United States," added the former Masters champion.
