LIV Golf takes another swing at world ranking points
SINGAPORE, JUL 11 – LIV Golf seeks world ranking points to help players qualify for major tournaments after a previous rejection left top players like Dustin Johnson ranked below 1,000, officials said.
- Earlier this month, LIV Golf submitted a new application to OWGR, with the review process now underway.
- In October 2023, OWGR rejected LIV Golf's initial application due to concerns over lack of relegation and field variance, citing format issues under Peter Dawson’s leadership.
- LIV Golf's reapplication features 13 no-cut, 54-hole events with fixed rosters and team scoring, addressing prior format concerns cited in 2023 rejection.
- The OWGR board will meet at the British Open at Royal Portrush, but a decision on LIV Golf's application is not expected immediately.
- In the broader context, approval of LIV Golf by OWGR could reshape professional golf by affecting major championship entries, as all four majors rely on OWGR points for exemptions.
