No ranking points available at Bangkok and Jeddah, says OWGR
LIV Golf players will not be able to earn world ranking points at upcoming events in Bangkok and Jeddah, Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) has said.
LIV Golf said on Wednesday that it had agreed a “strategic alliance” with the Middle East and Africa (Mena) Tour to allow its players to earn points.
But OWGR says it received insufficient notice to conduct a review before the series’ upcoming October events.
A review of the changes to the Mena Tour is now under way, OWGR confirmed.
The Saudi-backed LIV Golf will hold Invitational events in Bangkok from 7-9 October and Jeddah from 14-16 October.
An OWGR statement said the communication from the Mena Tour “detailed significant changes” to its membership structure, as well as an outline of the initial series of tournaments in the 2022-23 season.
