The Official World Golf Ranking announced on February 3, 2026, that LIV Golf events will receive world ranking points starting with this week's season opener in Riyadh, marking a significant but restricted milestone for the Saudi-backed league. Only the top 10 finishers in each event will earn points, a decision that has drawn criticism from LIV for being unprecedented and unfair. The move addresses long-standing concerns over major championship eligibility while highlighting ongoing differences in league structures.
Bryson DeChambeau has committed to completing the final year of his original LIV Golf deal, passing a PGA Tour return deadline for recent major winners. In Saudi Arabia to start his fourth season with LIV, he reflects on past conversations about expanding his media influence beyond traditional tours. DeChambeau envisions a future where golfers gain more control over media rights, drawing parallels to Arnold Palmer's legacy.

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.
Rolex has struck a partnership deal with LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed professional league, to provide exclusive hospitality experiences and expand into new markets. The agreement comes amid key players like Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka leaving LIV to return to the PGA Tour. This move aligns with Rolex's long history in golf sponsorships while navigating the league's controversial background.
