LIV Golf has officially withdrawn its application and ceased its efforts to gain recognition by the Official World Golf Rankings, challenging the legitimacy and credibility of the current system. The organization has called for the establishment of a new, credible, and independent ranking system and is advocating for the major championships to allocate a specific quota of players from its circuit. This move is viewed by some as LIV giving up on a fight and failing its players, potentially limiting their opportunities to compete in major championships and resulting in horrible optics internally. Despite the setback, LIV Golf expresses readiness for the long haul, indicating a shift in strategy rather than a retreat from its goals. The situation has sparked discussions within the golf community, with top PGA Tour players acknowledging the plight and suggesting that ‘Things Need to Be Changed’.
