LIV Golf has been up and running for three seasons now, and still without Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points it’s getting harder for players to qualify automatically for the Majors.
Winning or performing well in golf’s big four tournaments is the main route to continued entry into them, outside of entering qualifying events for the US Open and Open Championship.
Given all that, it’s not a huge surprise that there aren’t too many LIV Golf players who are already qualified for the four Majors to be played in 2025 – with just five of them in fact guaranteed spots in the premier golf events in the globe.

The 2023 Masters winner can obviously play at Augusta for life having won a Green Jacket – and his US Open exemption for winning that Major won’t expire until after the 2031 event.
For the Open and PGA Championship, Rahm is exempt until 2028 as part of the regular-five-year pass for winning a Major.
