Overview

  • Trevor Immelman, the new OWGR chairman, confirmed that LIV Golf has not submitted a new application for world ranking points as of May 1, 2025.
  • LIV Golf’s original application was rejected in October 2023 due to concerns over its closed-shop format and dual team/individual scoring structure.
  • The league withdrew its initial application in May 2024 and has not indicated if or when it plans to reapply.
  • Major championships, including the U.S. Open and British Open, have created alternative qualification pathways for LIV players, while The Masters relies on special invitations.
  • Immelman emphasized OWGR’s open-door policy, stating the league must take the initiative to reapply if it seeks inclusion.
