The Official World Golf Ranking has recognized LIV Golf events, awarding points to top finishers starting in 2026, but only the top 10 will receive them. LIV Golf welcomed the decision as long-overdue but sharply criticized the restriction as unprecedented and unfair. Players like Jon Rahm echoed the frustration, noting it could harm rankings for consistent performers outside the top 10.
Jon Rahm expressed satisfaction over reports of a potential agreement between LIV Golf and the DP World Tour to end fines for players competing in conflicting events. The proposed solution would allow LIV players to participate in select DP World Tour events without penalties starting this year, though existing fines remain outstanding. Rahm, who faces around $3 million in fines, awaits the outcome of his appeal alongside Tyrrell Hatton.

Other Spaniards like David Puig and Rafa Cabrera-Bello also progressed in the standings.
