LIV Golf’s Reapplication for OWGR Points Under Formal Review at Royal Portrush

The OWGR Board will assess LIV’s revamped format alongside player-backed reapplication during its Royal Portrush meeting this week.

Overview

  • LIV Golf submitted its revised OWGR application on July 11, with chairman Trevor Immelman confirming a thorough evaluation process.
  • The league’s May enforcement of genuine player relegation and adjustments to its team format aim to meet OWGR’s individual-performance criteria.
  • Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm have publicly endorsed granting OWGR points to LIV players to ensure fair global rankings.
  • The OWGR Board will convene at Royal Portrush during The Open Championship to examine the bid but is not expected to issue an immediate decision.
  • LIV professionals have suffered steep ranking declines—Jon Rahm at No. 72 and Brooks Koepka at No. 276—jeopardizing their direct entry into major championships.
