Patrick Reed has slammed the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) as 'insignificant', after revealing his own spot in the world rankings has been 'hammered'. Since beginning in June, LIV Golf has been competing without world ranking points, resulting in many of its stars plummeting down the list of the world's best.
One of those stars has been Reed, whose position stood at 25th when heading into 2022. 10 months on the 2018 Masters champion sits 56th in the rankings after competing on the Saudi-backed series joining in June.
The Saudi-backed series had hoped to have ranking points at their event this week in Jeddah, as well as at their previous outing in Bangkok seven days prior after striking up a 'strategic alliance' with the OWGR-recognised MENA Tour.
