Overview

• OWGR confirmed it received LIV Golf’s June 30 application and has initiated its formal review process.
• Chairman Trevor Immelman said the board will assess the bid strictly under OWGR criteria to ensure fairness, integrity and consistency.
• LIV CEO Scott O’Neil has held multiple conversations with Immelman ahead of the OWGR board’s annual meeting at the British Open.
• The circuit’s 54-hole no-cut format and fixed roster remain sticking points after OWGR’s unanimous rejection of its first application in October 2023.
• Players continue to accumulate zero OWGR points, with former world number one Dustin Johnson falling to 957th and major championship eligibility still at risk.
