LIV Golf's pursuit of Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points remains unresolved as its fifth season approaches in February. OWGR Chairman Trevor Immelman stated that while progress has been made, discussions are ongoing, emphasizing the OWGR's commitment to meritocracy. Key hurdles include LIV's invitational format, unlike other tours, and its shift to 72-hole events in 2026. Without OWGR points, LIV players face challenges qualifying for major tournaments. LIV Golf also announced an increase to 57 players per event with three wild-card spots.
