As for the pressure of trying to lock in a second appearance at Augusta National, Lee is not letting himself look beyond the Players and the WGC–Match Play in two weeks times.
LIV officials believe the partnership with the MENA Tour, which already has OWGR accreditation, will allow LIV events to begin receiving points immediately, starting with this week’s LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok.
The BMW PGA marked the first time since the Open Championship nearly two months ago where significant points were available to the contingent who jumped to the eight-event series, which is not eligible for the ranking.
Golf Digest has obtained information that identifies various parameters that need to be met for approval, several of which LIV Golf seems to fall short on if its application to the OWGR reflects its current rules and governance.
The OWGR uses a rolling two-year period to calculate a player’s average points per event, but if it only went back 52 weeks, things would look a lot different.
