OWGR Grants LIV Golf Ranking Points, With Key Conditions

OWGR Grants LIV Golf Ranking Points, With Key Conditions

The Official World Golf Ranking board approved awarding points to LIV Golf events starting this season, but only to the top 10 finishers and with a field strength roughly matching opposite-field PGA Tour events. A LIV winner is projected to earn about 23 points this week; last year’s ISCO Championship produced 24 points for the winner, while a full-field PGA Tour event like Farmers Insurance Open can yield many more points. The decision marks a compromise after LIV’s earlier bid for points, balancing merit-based ranking with ongoing debates over promotion/relegation and pathway equity among tours.

OWGR Grants LIV Golf Partial Points, Top-10 Finishers Only

The Official World Golf Ranking awarded LIV Golf a limited points framework for 2026, giving ranking points only to the top-10 finishers in LIV events and classifying them as Small Field Tournaments. A Riyadh winner is projected to earn about 23 OWGR points, far fewer than typical PGA Tour events, prompting LIV to call the cutoff unfair for high performers just outside the top 10. LIV has adjusted its format to 72-hole events with a 57-player field and expanded relegation pathways to meet eligibility, while OWGR says the compromise balances top LIV performers with broader merit-based standards and will apply immediately for the 2026 season.

LIV's Return to PGA Tour Exposes its Doomed Gamble

An opinion piece arguing that LIV Golf, backed by Saudi money, is doomed. It notes Koepka and Reed’s return to the PGA Tour as evidence that the lure of money cannot match the legacy of traditional golf stars, predicts LIV’s eventual fade, and discusses potential exit strategies or alliances (e.g., with the DP World Tour) as Saudi interests waver. The piece stresses that LIV’s high-spending venture lacks sustainable depth or lasting impact beyond cash incentives.
