LIV Golf is expecting its stars 'to earn world ranking points' when competing in Bangkok this week, according to reports. The series has been running without the awarding of points since its inception in June.
This has led to many of the world's best golfers slipping down the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), since signing with the Saudi-backed series this summer. Since then the breakaway circuit has been locked in a battle to acquire recognition from the OWGR.
And now according to The Telegraph, the series has finally succeeded with what seems to be a loophole, after signing a 'strategic alliance' with the lesser-known MENA Tour. The report adds that LIV has sought confirmation from the OWGR that rankings will be available for the tournament in Bangkok.
