Arrr mateys! The scallywags at LIV Golf be tellin' us swashbucklers that they've decided to pull their sails on seekin' world ranking accreditation. Looks like we'll be sailin' without a compass on this wild golfing adventure! Aye, me hearties!
LIV Golf, the league that has been fighting for years to earn world ranking points, has finally withdrawn its application after facing rejection from the Official World Golf Ranking board. The OWGR chairman expressed regret that a fair way to include LIV Golf in the ranking couldn't be found, considering the impact on the eligible tours and their players.CEO Greg Norman informed players of this decision, criticizing the OWGR for their lack of cooperation and willingness to work with LIV Golf. The rejection was based on concerns over format and player pathways, with the OWGR chairman emphasizing that the decision was technical rather than political.Despite the setback, Norman remains determined to find a solution that recognizes the accomplishments of LIV Golfers within the existing ranking system. The league's battle with the OWGR continues as they seek recognition for their players' abilities and contributions to the sport.While the future of LIV Golf's ranking status remains uncertain, the league is determined to protect its integrity and credibility in the professional golf world.
