LIV Golf strategic alliance

Following an announcement made in October 2022, the MENA Tour announced that they had entered into a strategic alliance with LIV Golf.[1] This was mainly due to LIV Golf attempting to gain Official World Golf Ranking points for their events by co-sanctioning them with the MENA Tour.[2] The proposals were initially rejected by the OWGR.[3] The first tournament added to the 2022–23 schedule was an event held in Thailand, co-sanctioned by the LIV Golf Invitational Series.[4]
