LIV golfers will continue to not earn Official World Golf Rankings points, the OWGR board ruled Tuesday. The Saudi-backed league criticized the decision.
The Official World Golf Ranking board rejected LIV Golf's application to get ranking points on Tuesday. The Saudi-backed league asked last year to be included in the ranking system, but the OWGR ruled that it could not fairly measure LIV against the other tours — 24 of them — that the board has in the system. The board cited lack of turnover in the league as a role in its decision. LIV also plays team golf and 54-hole events, as opposed to 72 holes in mostly individual play in the PGA.
Professional golf is now without a true or global scoring and ranking system. There is no benefit for fans or players from the lack of trust or clarity as long as the best player performances are not recognized.' LIV golfers have been able to acquire FedEx Cup points, but only in the four majors. They also were eligible to play in the Ryder Cup, but only Brooks Koepka was selected to play. He was a captain's pick for Team USA, which lost to Europe, 16.5-11.5.
Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Cameron Smith, Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed are some of the biggest names that defected from the PGA Tour to join LIV. The PGA Tour, the European tour and the Saudi backers of LIV Golf are working out a commercial partnership that was announced in June. One of the provisions is evaluating the future of team golf. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
