The Official World Golf Rankings are the gateway to majors. LIV players are still locked out.
“To have 48 of the best guys around the world playing and not to get world ranking points, I think is perhaps a little bit unfair,” Australian Cameron Smith, the world’s third-ranked golfer, said recently.LIV Golf submitted its application in July for recognition by OWGR, which serves as a sort of doorman for the sport, playing a key role in deciding entry into golf’s biggest tournaments.
Recognition from OWGR is vital for players who dream of winning majors, but it’s similarly important for LIV Golf, which wants its players and its brand to appear on the sport’s biggest stages, a mark of legitimacy for a start-up operation that has already encountered plenty of turbulence. Khosla said LIV officials “actually feel very good about the criteria we’ve applied against, and there are enough examples where exceptions have been made on those criteria.” His concerns, he said, are with the process.
