OWGR: How did the BMW PGA Championship affect LIV players' rankings?

As LIV Golf events don't currently offer world ranking points, 17 LIV defectors played the BMW PGA Championship — the DP World Tour's flagship event — to try and halt their decline in the OWGR.

So where do the LIVers stand in the world rankings after three rounds at Wentworth?

Talor Gooch was the highest defector on the leaderboard, finishing a solo fourth. With that, he jumped 11 spots in the world to No. 35.

Patrick Reed, who fared T-5, stayed at No. 50 in the world. The only other defector inside the OWGR's top 100 who played the BMW PGA and didn't move in the rankings was Abraham Ancer, who stayed at No.
