(Reuters) - Former world number one Jon Rahm said the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system is no longer fit for purpose, a day after LIV Golf formally withdrew its application to have players receive world ranking points from its tournaments.

LIV Golf first applied for recognition from OWGR, which determines entry into golf's four majors, in July 2022 but was rejected last October mainly because its format had only 54 holes with no cuts.
