Viktor Hovland has hit out at LIV Golf 's battle to acquire world ranking points, accusing the Saudi-backed series of 'making up rules as they go'. Since its inception in June, the LIV Series has gone ahead without Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) recognition.
This has resulted in a number of the breakaway circuit's players plummeting down the world rankings, after competing without OWGR points for over four months. In a bid to rectify the issue, the Saudi-funded series announced a 'strategic alliance' with the lesser known MENA Tour - who are OWGR recognised.
This led to last week's event in Bangkok and this week's in Jeddah being co-sanctioned with MENA, in the hope of ranking points being on offer at both tournaments.
