Cameron Smith has urged golf's majors to 'stand above all the politics' and allow LIV Golf rebels to play.
Uncertainty still reigns over the future involvement of players who defected to Greg Norman's Saudi-backed series in the four major championships.

But while the contentious LIV series continues to be blocked from ranking status by the Official World Golf Rankings board, its players will struggle to qualify for the majors. The awarding of ranking points remains a key battleground in golf's fierce ongoing civil war as LIV chiefs aim to further validate their venture and rival the PGA and DP World tours.
