LIV Golf’s Strict Pace of Play Policy Costs Meronk Big Bucks

Adrian Meronk faced embarrassment as he incurred a one shot penalty for slow play during the LIV Golf round in Jeddah resulting in a roughly £200,000 loss. The Polish golfer exceeded the allotted time for his second stroke on the 18th hole adjusting his birdie to a par and impacting his standing and prize money. 

The incident highlighted LIV Golf’s strict Pace of Play Policy enforcing time penalties. In contrast, the PGA Tour infrequently penalizes slow play with the last incident occurring in 1995. Joaquin Niemann emerged victorious in the event, marking his second LIV Golf victory in 2024.

The series known for time penalties appears less concerned with issues like foul language.
