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.
The LIV Golf League has signed NCAA champion Michael La Sasso while releasing Jinichiro Kozuma, who discovered the decision through social media. These roster changes come as the Official World Golf Ranking considers granting LIV events ranking points. The moves highlight ongoing debates about merit and team composition in the Saudi-funded league.
