Typically, the top 50 or 60 players in the rankings are eligible to compete in majors. But if LIV players can't accumulate points, they'll continue to tumble ...

“Because if you play in Asia, you get world ranking points, which is sad — that you have to go and do other things to get world rankings so you can get in majors. and British Open have qualifying events, for example — or lobby the majors to amend their qualifications and create spots specifically for LIV golfers. The DP World Tour tried doing the same, but a judge [temporarily paused those efforts](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/09/07/liv-golf-bmw-pga-championship/?itid=lk_inline_manual_45), pending a hearing in February. As American Bryson DeChambeau put it: “We’re doing anything and everything to satisfy the criteria of the OWGR.” That group reviews applications, often working with the applicant to address shortcomings, before passing along a recommendation to the governing board, which includes the founding members and is chaired by Peter Dawson, the former head of the R&A, one of golf’s international governing bodies. While a news release made no mention of the 54-hole format or cut lines, it did promise “pathways for amateurs and the next generation of leading players” and “broad exemption categories so a wide spectrum of players can attempt to earn their way into the league.” OWGR officials — who come from other golf tours — have occasionally made exceptions, but a person familiar with the process said that no tour has received serious consideration with such a problematic application. But if LIV players can’t accumulate points, they’ll continue to tumble down the rankings, putting them at risk of missing major championships and the Olympics. LIV Golf submitted its application in July for recognition by OWGR, which serves as a sort of doorman for the sport, playing a key role in deciding entry into golf’s biggest tournaments. And all 48 golfers in the field will receive the same number of points in the Official World Golf Ranking: Zero. The PGA Tour, for example, typically stages an 18-hole competition the Monday before a tournament, with four finishers advancing to the actual tournament. All but four of those have steadily slid down the rankings — Phil Mickelson is down 48 spots to No.
