Two years after posting his last LIV Golf win at Andalucía, Talor Gooch is displaying the same kind of form that won him the league’s solo title.

After months of speculation and industry chatter, LIV Golf has officially taken its latest swing at gaining recognition from the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system. On Friday, the OWGR confirmed it received a formal application from LIV Golf on June 30 and that the review process is now underway.

LIV Golf is making a fresh bid to crack the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) after striking out two years ago, setting up another potential showdown over the Saudi Arabia-backed circuit's place in professional golf's pecking order.

LIV Golf is trying again to get world ranking points. The Official World Golf Ranking said the Saudi-funded league of 54 players has sent in a new application to be included in the OWGR.

LIV Golf has reapplied for its events to receive Official World Golf Ranking points, the chairman of the ranking’s board, Trevor Immelman, announced Friday.

LIV's first application in 2023 was rejected by the OWGR. The question is what has it changed on its application that would allow it to get approval this time

The OWGR denied the first application in October 2023, but both it and LIV have taken on new leadership since.

LIV Golf has applied again to be included in the Official World Golf Ranking, without any indication how it will operate differently from when their first application was rejected nearly two years ago.

Will the PGA and LIV Golf ever reunite? Some news released by the Official World Golf Ranking board of directors on Friday makes that result look a little less likely, at least in the near term.

While the PGA Tour heads to Scotland for its tuneup ahead of the 2025 Open Championship at the Scottish Open, LIV Golf will be in Spain for LIV Golf Andalucía at Real Club Valderrama. It will serve as the home event for Sergio Garcia's Fireballs squad as well as Jon Rahm as his Legion XIII squad battle at the top of the LIV Golf team standings just behind Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers.
