LIV Golf has faced multiple challenges, including tournament cancellations and ongoing lawsuits, leading to questions about its future and eligibility for Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points. Meanwhile, LIV's CEO Scott O’Neil has been tasked with restructuring the league ahead of a September 1 deadline to secure new financing and establish a reduced tournament schedule for 2027.
