LIV Golf has spent the past several months trying to secure its own invitation to the exclusive, and critical, Official World Golf Rankings, the system which determines invitations to golf’s four majors.
Now, in a deft move, LIV has decided to join the party as a plus-one, aligning itself with a tour already on the inside.
LIV announced Wednesday it will form a “strategic alliance” with the MENA Tour, a circuit representing (in theory) the Middle East and North Africa. The MENA Tour, designated as a pathway to the Asian Tour, began operations in 2011, but has not held a tournament since the pandemic.
