LIV Golf, the Saudi Arabia-backed golf league, has been unanimously rejected by the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) in its bid to have its players earn ranking points. The decision comes after concerns were raised about the league's format, which has been a contentious issue in the golf world. The denial means that LIV Golf's players will continue to not earn OWGR points, impacting their rankings. This ruling marks a significant setback for LIV Golf, which had hoped to be accredited in the world rankings. The league will now have to reassess its strategy moving forward.

I think the OWGR's decision to not award points to LIV was _____________
It's safe to assume LIV Golf pitched prospective players on the idea that they would eventually receive OWGR points. Now that the circuit's application to the OWGR has been unanimously rejected, LIV players have to be furious. https://t.co/ed6QGrvpph

I was *super* wrong about OWGR. Did not expect them to reject awarding points outright to LIV. Understand the decision, but it means major championships will change their qualification criteria and give themselves leeway to invite a larger group of golfers outside OWGR.

The OWGR's decision to not give LIV points is reasonable, and it came down to one thing: Contractual obligation from teams to players. More than 54 holes or small fields, this is so different from any other tour that the OWGR did not believe it was measuring congruent entities.
