LIV Golf events to receive world ranking points, says officialLOS ANGELES, United States — Players in LIV Golf tournaments will be eligible to receive world ranking points for the first time from this year, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) announced on Tuesday (Wednesday Manila time). The failure of the Saudi Arabia-financed LIV Golf to secure world ranking points for its events has been a stumbling block since the upstart circuit launched in 2022. OWGR chairman Trevor Immelman said determining a system for awarding ranking points at LIV events had taken several months. "We believe we have found a solution that achieves these twin aims and enables the best-performing players at LIV Golf events to receive OWGR points." "Under these rules, a player finishing 11th in a LIV Golf event is treated the same as a player finishing 57th," LIV Golf said in a statement.
