LIV Golf CEO Confirms Meeting with OWGR Boss Amid Ranking Points Application
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. LIV Golf has achieved some victories this season in its quest to establish itself as one of the leading tours in the world of golf. In addition to the direct paths to qualify for the US Open and Open Championship, they hope to soon be able to add world ranking points for their tournaments. Proof of this is that they recently formally reapplied to the Official World Golf Rankings to join their points system, despite the fact that little or nothing has changed since the last time they did so, at least visibly. The matter hasn't ended there; there has been direct contact between the authorities of both institutions. This was confirmed by LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil during his press conference prior to the event being played this week in the United Kingdom. "It's still a bit premature," O'Neil said according to the press conference's transcripts. "We have filed an application, and I'm in pretty good contact with (OWGR's chairman) Trevor Immelman. We have a call later this week. He's been a good source of encouragement, push-back, debate, and we've both agreed to keep those conversations between the two of us until we take another step forward." Scott O'Neil CEO of LIV Golf reacts after the match on day three of LIV Golf Hong Kong at The Hong Kong Golf Club on March 09, 2025 in Hong Kong, China. Scott O'Neil CEO of LIV Golf reacts after the match on day three of LIV Golf Hong Kong at The Hong Kong Golf Club on March 09, 2025 in Hong Kong, this season, both the US Open and the Open Championship created direct pathways for one LIV Golf player to qualify for their respective majors based solely on their league results. This is a limited number, but it has been welcomed by the tour and its supporters as a step in the direction they hope for. The league has also received support from several major sponsors, both for its teams and for some individual players. Little Has Changed in LIV Golf's System Aside from plans for future modifications to the LIV Golf system, which may have been communicated to the OWGR but not to the general public, little has changed in the league's format since its last application to enter the world ranking system. The main reason that led the OWGR to reject LIV Golf's first application remains fully in place. It is the tour's lack of solid qualification and relegation methods that allows players to compete for access to it. LIV Golf implemented player relegation, a system that to date has left more questions than answers. Last year, only five of the 52 starting players and one reserve player were relegated, and two of them, Bubba Watson and Branden Grace, were later re-signed by their respective teams. There was no qualifying system whatsoever. The league also created two ways to compete for a roster spot, but this hasn't been a good-looking prospect either. A spot is awarded to the winner of the Asian Tour's International Series, but if the winner is already an LIV player (as was the case last year), the benefit doesn't carry over to the next eligible player. The other method is the promotions event, which last season awarded only one contract to the winner. The benefit went to Chien Li Po, who wasn't even given a spot on a team, but is instead playing as an individual with a wild card. The primary method of entry into LIV Golf remains direct player signings. This is something that will undoubtedly be a focus of the OWGR's attention when evaluating the application.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil meeting with OWGR chair Trevor Immelman amid rankings debate
Two weeks ago, LIV Golf resubmitted an application to the Official World Golf Ranking in an attempt to have its events awarded ranking points. What has changed since the last time the league tried to get points? That was asked to LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil on Wednesday ahead of LIV Golf UK, the 11th event of 14 on the league's 2025 schedule, and his answer said a lot without saying much. "It's still a bit premature," he said. "We have filed an application, and I'm in pretty good contact with Trevor Immelman. We have a call later this week. He's been a good source of encouragement, push-back, debate, and we've both agreed to keep those conversations between the two of us until we take another step forward. "I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but that's what we agreed to." The question was phrased, what has changed for the league to have a better chance of having its application accepted? O'Neil deflected answering that question and instead pointed his remarks toward ongoing conversations with Immelman, the chair of the OWGR. Much of the OWGR's issues with LIV stem from its mostly closed fields of 54 players, no-cut events, and shotgun starts. There was also an issue with the lack of relegation from the league: Bubba Watson and Branden Grace finished in the drop zone and were relegated from the league after the 2024 season, but both players re-signed with their former teams and returned this year. The league has made numerous strides commercially since O'Neil replaced Greg Norman as CEO, including signing a new media rights deal with Fox. O'Neil also helped a pair of teams, Legion XIII and Torque GC, sign contracts with OEMs for equipment deals, the first of their kind on LIV Golf. Other teams have signed apparel contracts. LIV Golf has also started announcing dates for its 2026 schedule, with a return to Adelaide and the UK officially on the books, but other worldwide stops expected to return, as well, like in Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Korea, among others. What does it all mean? It's too soon to determine whether this new application is much different than the first, but LIV Golf could make widespread changes to its format, including relegation and promotion, in the offseason. That domino could be the one that finally allows LIV Golf to get its foot in the door for OWGR points, even if they're marginal. As of now, O'Neil is keeping LIV's plans close to the vest, but if his first six months are any indication, he's doing plenty behind the scenes to help plant LIV Golf's footprint in the professional golf ecosystem now and in the future.

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Coinbase Global, Galaxy Digital, BlackRock, IBIT, Robinhood, Interactive Brokers and Alphabet
Chicago, IL – July 15, 2025– Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Coinbase Global COIN, Galaxy Digital GLXY, BlackRock's BLK, iShares Bitcoin ETF IBIT, Robinhood HOOD, Interactive Brokers IBKR and Alphabet's GOOGL. "The hard-to-believe 'Great Paradox' in the stock market is: What seems too high and risky to the majority usually goes higher eventually, and what seems low and cheap usually goes lower."~William J. O'Neil Bitcoin was once called a "gambling token" and "rat poison squared" by legendary investor Warren Buffett, arguably the best investor of his time. However, by now, it has become impossible for Wall Street to deny the once obscure and first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency. A decade ago, Bitcoin traded at $286. Today, Bitcoin hit another all-time high of $123,000, marking a 430x increase over the past ten years and accruing an eye-popping 83% annualized return, far surpassing the next best asset class. Now, Bitcoin is one of the largest asset classes in the world. Below are five reasons the momentum is likely to continue into 2026, including: 1. Bitcoin: Digital Gold What differentiates Bitcoin from fiat currency and any other cryptocurrency is its scarcity and role as a store of value. Unlike fiat currency, which can be printed by central bankers out of thin air, there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins in existence. Why is this important? As global central banks around the world print trillions of dollars and borrow money, fiat currencies like the dollar continue to lose value. As a result, investors gravitate towards Bitcoin and metals to fight this phenomenon. With the US passing another massive spending bill recently, there is no end in sight to this troubling trend in fiat. 2. Bitcoin ETFs Provide Wider Access Until recently, investors who wanted to buy Bitcoin had to have a separate crypto account through an exchange like Coinbase Global or Galaxy Digital. However,early last year, theUS Securities and Exchange Commission finally approved Bitcoin ETFs, allowing far more access to a larger group of investors. The launch of Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's, iShares Bitcoin ETF underscores the success. IBIT was the most successful ETF launch in history and is already the 20th largest ETF in the United States. In addition to the ETF approvals, traditional stock brokers like Robinhood and Interactive Brokers now offer a suite of crypto trading products. 3. Bitcoin Week Looms This week has been dubbed 'Crypto Week' by the Republicans. DC is slated to vote on the 'GENIUS Act,' which will provide a regulatory framework around stablecoins like Circle Group's USDC token. 'The CLARITY Act' will also aim to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. Crypto companies have had to deal with regulatory ambiguity from regulators for years. With a clear regulatory framework, more institutional investors are likely to flock to the digital asset industry. 4. Lack of Hype Around Bitcoin Though Bitcoin continues to print fresh all-time highs, you wouldn't know it by looking at Bitcoin interest on Alphabet's 'Google Trends.' Interest is at multi-year lows, presenting investors with a contrarian opportunity. 5. Bitcoin Fibs Suggest $150k Price Target Market technicians use Fibonacci levels as a tool to identify potential price targets. The Bitcoin fibs suggest that a price target of $150k by early 2026 is realistic. As market technicians now eye a $150k price target, Bitcoin's ongoing momentum suggests that its remarkable growth story is far from over, reminding investors that true opportunity often lies where the majority hesitates.
