LIV Golf's quest to earn world ranking points was denied by the OWGR board largely because it is a closed shop with the same 48 players for a season.
LIV Golf is playing only for cash, not world ranking points, after the Official World Golf Ranking board determined it could not fairly measure the 48-man league with the other 24 tours around the world.
"We are not at war with them," Peter Dawson, chairman of the OWGR board, said when contacted by The Associated Press."This decision not to make them eligible is not political. It is entirely technical. LIV players are self-evidently good enough to be ranked. They're just not playing in a format where they can be ranked equitably with the other 24 tours and thousands of players trying to compete on them.
LIV Golf, which has two events left in its second season, has 48 players competing over 54 holes with no cut and a $20 million purse, with an additional $5 million awarded in a simultaneous team competition. "I knew we were 1 stroke ahead on the team, so I couldn't go extra. I knew I couldn't be too aggressive," Muñoz said when it was over.

The sticking points were LIV having the same 48 players all season and not enough turnover through relegation and qua
