MENA Tour commissioner David Spencer has fired back after LIV Golf 's hopes of securing world ranking points were crushed. On Wednesday LIV announced they had formed a 'strategic alliance' with the lesser known MENA Tour.
The deal was struck in the hope of finally securing world ranking points for their now co-sanctioned event in Bangkok this week, with MENA already recognised by the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). However, just a day before the sixth event of the series, LIV were dealt a huge blow.
As a result OWGR released a statement on Thursday confirming that the application for ranking points in Bangkok this week - as well as Jeddah later this month - had been rejected, and was subject to an investigation.
