Trial: Bank Negara analyst stands by 1MDB’s US$20m trail to Najib even without Prince Faisal’s Saudi bank statementLIV Golf’s bid to have its players earn ranking points has been unanimously rejected by the Official World Golf Ranking due to concerns about the Saudi Arabia-backed circuit’s format.
“Professional golf is now without a true or global scoring and ranking system,” LIV Golf said in a statement. “There is no benefit for fans or players from the lack of trust or clarity as long as the best player performances are not recognised.” The bigger concern, according to the letter, is the limited access for players to join LIV Golf which, barring injury, features the same 48 players all season.
Brooks Koepka led Munoz by a shot on the final hole and both were about 40 feet away for birdie. Koepka’s putt settled just over four feet from the cup before Munoz, needing a birdie to force a playoff but whose team led Koepka’s Smash unit by a stroke, lagged his putt to just inside four feet and made par.
Critics say LIV Golf, bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, amounts to “sportswashing” by a nation trying to improve its image amid criticism of its human rights record.
