A ruling that will see only the top 10 finishers at LIV Golf events awarded world ranking points “doesn’t seem fair”, says two-time major winner Jon Rahm.<\/p>\n
The Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) board revealed on Tuesday its decision to award LIV players points for the first time.<\/p>\n
But the limit means it will be different from all 24 other men’s professional golf tours that are part of the OWGR where everyone making the cut earn points.<\/p>\n
The OWGR board said it was restricting points to the top 10 finishers in the Saudi Arabia-funded circuit because it “recognises there are a number of areas where LIV Golf does not meet the eligibility standards set out by OWGR”.<\/p>\n
Speaking at LIV Golf’s season opener in Riyadh, Rahm said it was “fantastic that we’re being recognised in a way” but he added: “With that said, I don’t like how we’re not being treated the same as every other tour.<\/p>\n
“It seems like the rules that have been in place don’t really apply to us, with only 10 of us getting points.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t seem fair. The small fields out there throughout the course of the year, their players get full points.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
