Carlos Ortiz was recently in the limelight for his comment on OWGR rankings

Carlos Ortiz was among the very few who joined the LIV league when it was first established. Although the Saudi Arabian-PIF-backed league provides lucrative benefits, it is not an officially sanctioned tour.

Due to this, LIV tournaments are not awarded Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) points. Touching on this issue, Ortiz argued that despite the league operating outside the system, OWGR rankings should encompass all players in the global standings.

Carlos Ortiz said during a conversation with Subpar podcast (via Sbnation.com):

“I just feel that people have to recognize that there are good players [on LIV Golf], and if you are going to have a world ranking that includes all the golf players, you have to have some people included.”

He further added:

“I understand that we went out of the system, and it is going to take time to be part of the system, but if the [OWGR] is going to be accurate, they must include all kinds of player."

Ortiz also confessed that while signing the LIV contract, players were assured that they would receive OWGR rankings. However, circumstances shifted, and the tournaments with a no-cut format are still vying to be included in the rankings.

In the same conversation with Subpar podcast, Ortiz said:

“They definitely said that we were gonna get them. We haven’t got them. But I just feel that people have to recognise that there is good players here, you know.”
