While LIV is working toward OWGR accreditation, the Saudi-backed league’s players have plummeted in the world rankings over the past few years.

Key Highlights

Rahm, who was once the No.
1-ranked golfer in the world, has fallen to 87.
Dustin Johnson is 636.
Brooks Koepka, who recently left LIV Golf, is ranked 244.
Only Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau are ranked inside the top 30. With the OWGR unable to properly rate LIV’s players, Rahm sees a number of his league mates being underrated by the rankings and golf world at large. Rahm went on the latest episode of GOLF’s Subpar Podcast and offered his list of the most underrated players on the breakaway league. Rahm’s list starts with a player who has notched a win in each of the last two seasons on LIV: Dean Burmester.
