That’s the whole issue. Whether LIV ever meets the criteria to get OWGR. As for the Majors. If I had to bet I’d bet that LIV players will be excluded from the Majors.
Just reading the tea leaves from what has been said by the governing bodies of the 4 Majors. And the fact that they’ll continue to fall down the world ranking points list.
The only ones that could get to play are past Champions. Unless they can come up with a way to exclude them as well.
The whole purpose behind OWGR was to produce a fair equitable system to rank the World’s best golfers. LIV has 13 who were ranked inside the top 50 (a typical number for inclusion in majors). The fact that these players rankings are dropping has nothing to do with diminished skills. The OWGR is failing golf - intentionally - because it is controlled by those who wish to maintain leverage over their work force (source of their billion dollar per year industry and their exorbitant salaries) … to keep them under their thumb. The LIV players are being used like heads on pikes. “54 holes”, “no cuts”, “less than 75 man fields” is all just distraction.
If the majors were to exclude proven qualified players - they would be cheating golf history. But I’m sure if enough pressure and/or money is applied “fairness” can be overlooked.
Stu1961 I'm curious to see what, if anything, The Masters does. They control everything associated with their tournament right down to the TV & commercials. They merely play by the rules of golf, not rules of the PGA. And it is by invite only; and I believe that to mean even past winners. It is a ton different than the other 3 majors. What they do, or don't do, may well set the trend.
"Phil is a three-time Masters champion and is invited in that category and many other categories......."
If they decide to exclude 13 of the world's top 50 players, will the majors really still be majors?
rsvman2 It's going to be egg-on-face if the Majors cut these guys out. Esp. if they are a Masters winner, who get automatic invites to the other 3. Doesn't say you have to be a member of anything/anywhere.
How will it look to the whole world of sports, if 'rules of exclusion' are added to 1 sport, perhaps the oldest sport, after 100's of years??
How about a little pot stirring......
Why do LIV player give a crap about so called Majors when it is all about the $$$$$$$ ? 
The majors can do as they wish, but I'm not going to watch if Cameron Smith is healthy and not invited to play. Doubt they'll miss me, but I won't miss them much either.
KCee The Majors pay a LOT too! And winning those may get them back some endorsement money.
Counterpoint.... What does the most lucrative major pay ? Not $4M like the 1st LIV paid and you have to
play your ass off against strong fields - too much work. Endorsements ? Too hot to handle now....
Take the $$$$ and go have fun.
Eguller 38 of the top 50 are non LIV players.
Par4QC 12 that 'were' in the top 50. Out of 48 players
Let's be honest....the 12 and the 38 all got their ranking from watered down fields. And from limited fields, sometimes. Both which is BS. I'll not mention the sometimes 'revolving' changes in the OWGR for qualifications. Gonna have them?....set them in stone. Forever.
Was Jack ever ranked #1? No. Did he need it? Not on your life! 
Eguller Before LIV, the Majors also gave the winner a 5 yr exemption on PGA Tour, doesn't take much for their game to drop, and a 5-year free pass is handy.
And no Amateurs to weaken the fields.
