Responding to the same Saudi Golf Federation CEO Majed Al Sorour recently mentioned that the new circuit is planning to create its own majors for players so that they won\u2019t have to look for competitions to participate in elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an article published Tuesday, Sorour told the New Yorker, &#8220;For now, the majors are siding with the (PGA) Tour, and I don&#8217;t know why. If the majors decide not to have our players play? I will celebrate. I will create my own majors for my players. Honestly, I think all the tours are being run by guys who don&#8217;t understand business.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorour\u2019s open defiance and challenge to the existing ecosystem isn\u2019t new as the LIV Golf has constantly been at loggerheads with the PGA Tour with some of the biggest names involved in the middle of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The players who decided to participate in the LIV Golf\u2019s lucrative events had to leave the PGA Tour formally and as a result, they were also suspended from the US-based circuit. Recently, LIV Golf suffered a setback after it was revealed that players participating in their events will not be receiving ranking points as the decision wasn\u2019t communicated to the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), the organization that gives out ranking points, in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIV is now attempting to get its events sanctioned by the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), which could put its players in line to make the 2023 majors on the merits of their LIV results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, OWGR is yet to approve LIV events for their formula set despite the competition teaming up with the MENA Tour of Middle Eastern and North African events.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite what its future means for the existing present of golf as well as Saudi Arabia\u2019s attempted sports washing to hide its dubious record of human rights violations within their borders, they were able to attract several top talents like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Bubba Watson, Cameron Smith, Sergio Garcia, and Lee Westwood, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIV Golf is still involved in a tussle with the PGA Tour and they received another significant setback recently when it was announced that players participating in their competitions will not receive any ranking points.
