Phil Mickelson believes the top performing LIV stars should be handed a chance to compete in majors as they continue to tumble down the world rankings.
The American is among the most high profile men to defect to the rebel series, funded by Saudi Arabia. Other leading names like Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith have also headed over, but they continue to battle against animosity and issues with the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) - which doesn't recognise LIV competitions when handing out ranking points.
It means the plethora of individuals involved have fallen down the order, which is used to pick fields for majors. Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley has said that the Masters will continue to use that method for 2024, claiming "it’s a good system".
