LIV is expecting the earn OWGR points this week. They’ve formed a “strategic alliance” with the OWGR-sanctioned MENA Tour. That tour hasn’t played since 2020 but LIV believes this expedites its path to points. No official statement from OWGR.

The breakaway circuit has reportedly sought confirmation from OWGR chiefs that ranking points will be available for the Thailand event this week, with an official announcement expected imminently. Brooks Koepka's wife however, Jena Sims, seemingly broke the news on her Instagram story.

That means they bought it.

Curious, how accurate are the points if you play against the same exact field every week ?

This seems weird to me. However, if true congrats to the winner....you will get exactly 2 points.

Pretty accurate. The new formulas are pretty good at sizing up a particular event against a global metric.

Think of it the way strokes gained in various categories are being used. The new OWGR formulas are doing something similar so even the same players playing over and over can be compared against all other tours.

PGA tour has 32 top 100 players playing this week & winner gets 42 pts.

DP world tour has 6 top 100 players this week & winner gets 14 pts.

LIV has ~20 top 100 players… you do the math

We can only hope. Curious how this will work. Did they essentially buy another tour that was already getting OWGR points?

Nah brah. You gotta look at more than just top players. Depth of field matters - it just does. 20 top 100 playing against the James Piotr of the world makes a difference. If you can’t see it, I can’t help you. I’m not saying they don’t deserve points, but the points should take into account all those factors.

What about the other 60% of the field? or is that not included in the math
