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.
One invitation remains for the Masters Tournament at Augusta National, with the Valero Texas Open serving as the final qualifier. Five prominent PGA Tour players, including Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris, are contending for the spot at TPC San Antonio. A win by an already-exempt player would eliminate the opportunity.

Matthew Wolff and Harold Varner III, both former PGA Tour players, recorded the largest gains in the Official World Golf Ranking following the 2026 LIV Golf Hong Kong event. Wolff jumped 1,531 spots to 774th after a fifth-place finish, while Varner III climbed 796 places to 589th with a solo fourth. The event marked the third LIV tournament to award OWGR points this year.
