LIV Golf has been handed a boost after being told that two of their biggest opponents would not be part of the world ranking points decision-making process.
The Saudi-backed tour will host 14 events this year and has also landed a television deal with CW Network to broadcast the series to 120 million households in the US. However, the rebel tour is yet to be granted Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points which are required for its members qualify for Major championships in years to come.
Last year LIV Golf members signed a joint letter to OWGR chairman Peter Dawson pleading for validation of the breakaway series.
