Overview

• The OWGR is reviewing LIV Golf’s second accreditation bid, which was submitted in June 2025.
• LIV CEO Scott O’Neil said the process remains preliminary and he spoke this week with OWGR chair Trevor Immelman.
• Only two LIV players remain in the top 50—Bryson DeChambeau at No. 16 and Tyrrell Hatton at No. 21—as others fall without OWGR points from regular LIV events.
• Lee Westwood and Jon Rahm have criticized the two-year points model as a “mockery” and “laughable,” and they advocate alternative metrics such as strokes gained.
• LIV Golf is considering format reforms, including relegation-zone qualifiers, to address OWGR concerns over closed fields, no-cut events and lack of relegation.
