LIV Golf has reapplied for its tournaments to receive points from the Official World Golf Ranking, the OWGR confirmed on Friday. Chairman Trevor Immelman said the board has begun a “thorough evaluation” of the June 30 submission and will judge the Saudi-funded circuit against existing criteria that govern 24 other global tours. The breakaway league’s initial bid was rejected in October 2023 because its 54-hole, no-cut format and largely fixed 54-player roster were deemed incompatible with the ranking’s standards. LIV, now led by chief executive Scott O’Neil, has since introduced limited promotion and relegation mechanisms but remains under scrutiny for limited field turnover. World ranking points are critical to the circuit as majors still rely on OWGR standings to fill much of their fields; the new review could take more than a year.
