How many spots did LIV golfers fall in the OWGR in 2022?
The Official World Golf Rankings were released on Monday, featuring LIV Golf players who witnessed the biggest fall of their careers.
Despite being deprived of ranking points, some LIV Golf players' ranks improved. The most surprising was Harold Varner II, whose ranking improved from 46 to 45, while the others had low career rankings.

It was shocking to see Phil Mickelson, ranked 73 before joining LIV, settling at 213.
LIV Golf and the PGA Tour have been in the headlines since the inception of the Saudi-backed series. The PGA Tour suspended players from playing after they joined the rival series, and the LIV Golf players' points did not find themselves in the official rankings.
Week 51, December 12th – December 18th, 2022, Top 20 Ranking.

Both series are engaged in a legal battle, and still, LIV Golf is waiting to at least add the winning points to the world rankings.
Although the newly formed series has led to a decrease in golfer rankings, it has added a significant amount to their accounts.
