LIV Golf rebel Anirban Lahiri has seized rare opportunities to boost his position in the world rankings away from the Saudi-funded breakaway tour.
The controversial LIV series - fronted by firebrand Greg Norman - has so far been overlooked by the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) board in a desperate pursuit for accreditation that would further validate the tour and allow its players to earn the points that are crucial for major championship qualification.
Norman's ongoing failure to gain OWGR eligibility is stifling LIV renegades - who have plummeted down the rankings with no points on offer during the LIV events and are now starting to miss out on majors, unless they have special exemptions.
