Australia’s Cameron Smith, who claimed his maiden LIV Golf victory and biggest cheque of his career on Sunday (Monday AEST), said a decision on whether he and other competitors on the Saudi Arabia-backed series will receive world rankings points needs to be made soon.

LIV Golf, which held its fifth event over the past week in Chicago, applied for recognition in golf’s world rankings – which play a key role in deciding entry into golf’s four majors – in July and their file remains under review.
