The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) board has rejected LIV Golf's application for world ranking points.
OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued the following statement on the matter to the Associated Press' Doug Ferguson.
"We are not at war with them," Dawson said. "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."
The Saudi-backed professional golf tour began play in 2022.
