Dustin Johnson is confident the LIV Golf Series will be given world ranking points, claiming that recognition from the Official World Golf Rankings is 'inevitable'. One of the major dints in LIV Golf's armour has been a lack of world ranking points, as their players continue to tumble down the rankings.
The breakaway circuit seemed to have found a loop hole last week, after forming a strategic alliance with the OWGR-recognised MENA Tour, co-sanctioning their previous event in Bangkok and this week's in Jeddah to ensure points were on offer. OWGR refused to the request though, stating MENA's new application gave the ranking system 'insufficient' notice to review its new LIV-included format.
The refusal was yet another setback from Greg Norman's Saudi-backed series, however their newly crowned individual champion Johnson believes it is only a matter of time before ranking points are on offer.
