LIV golfers competing in Thailand this weekend will not earn world ranking points, in what serves as an embarrassment to the rebel tour after public claims to the contrary.
An alliance between LIV and the feeder, Middle East and North Africa Tour, was announced on Wednesday. Through that, LIV believed it finally had access to the official world ranking system (OWGR). LIV players, including the Open champion, Cameron Smith, have been afforded Mena membership. A statement read: “The alliance will boost the Mena Tour’s development programs and immediately qualify LIV Golf for OWGR points, starting with the LIV Golf Thailand event at Stonehill this week.”
