The latest chapter in the ongoing saga surrounding the LIV Golf Series has been the breakaway circuit’s failure to be recognised by the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Since its inception this summer, LIV Golf has been at the centre of a civil war within the sport.
CEO Greg Norman has been able to lure in some of the game’s biggest names on mega-money contracts from their PGA Tour rivals, including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter and Dustin Johnson.
Whilst they have reaped the benefits financially, it has come at a cost for most with regard to their position in the world rankings, and with the Saudi-backed circuit yet to acquire OWGR points, that fall is set to continue.
