Westwood, veteran golfer who plays on a live golf tour, now sits at number 930 in the list of Ovgra after finishing 34th in the Royal Portraus, shooting them up to 3,759 spots.

Westwood said at the UK event of Live Golf on Wednesday, “I think without the world’s ranking proves that it makes a little joke of the system.” ESPN per eS,
Westwood is one of many live golf stars, believing that their events should be included within Owgr. However, the latest application of the league is currently reviewing.

He initially tried to be recognized when the league began in 2022, but was rejected. As a result, Live Golfer cannot earn themselves OwgR points until they play in the major championships or international tour events.
For example, take Dustin Johnson. He ranks only 571st in the list, but is due to the 23rd tied finishing in the open. Johnson was once the world number one golfer for 135 weeks, but since he joined Live, he has fallen into a standing.

Only Bryson Decombo (16th) and Tiereel Haton (21st) are in the top 50 in the OwGR rankings. Other live golf stars such as John Rahm and Patrick Reid do not crack that upper ecolon despite their solid game.
Westwood said, “I think it is mainly related to the desire of the best players in the major championships, do not want this conversation, where some people are missing because we do not get world ranking points on live,”
Heton has been vocal about his partner Live Golf Players, who are credited for their work in the league, especially when it comes to qualifying for a major tournament.
