LIV Golf has applied for Official World Golf Ranking points — again
LIV Golf's laborious and to this point unfruitful attempts to secure Official World Golf Ranking points are not through, as it was announced on Friday that the fledgling golf circuit has re-applied after repeated attempts to gain critical status for its members. Last year, LIV Golf withdrew its official bid for OWGR points, which was originally sent in June 2022. No LIV Golf events have been awarded OWGR points since the league's first event in the United Kingdom in 2022, with its players forced to earn ranking points only in majors, the DP World Tour or Asian Tour, among others. Advertisement LIV Golf declined to comment to Golfweek about the report back in April, but the league made numerous changes this season, including hiring a new CEO in Scott O'Neil, signing a new media rights deal with Fox and continuing to tweak its schedule. 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 Andalucía In a story at our partner Reuters, the OWGR board said it will give the newest application a fair shake. "The OWGR Board is committed to a thorough evaluation process of all applications," Trevor Immelman, the chairman of the OWGR board of directors, said in a statement on Friday. "LIV's application will be reviewed in accordance with OWGR's criteria to ensure fairness, integrity and consistency." "We appreciate the interest of LIV Golf – and all Tours – in contributing to the global landscape of men's professional golf through OWGR. Further updates will be provided as the review progresses." The stakes are high for LIV's star-studded roster as world rankings play a key role in determining entry into golf's four majors. The lack of ranking points has seen LIV Golf players tumble down the rankings, with former world number one Dustin Johnson now ranked number 957 in the OWGR. Earning OWGR points would impact LIV in numerous ways, including allowing more of its players to qualify for major championships and possibly attracting more players to play for the Saudi-backed league. Rumors have run rampant about players not wanting to re-sign contracts with LIV Golf when they expire after this season and in 2026, including five-time major champion Brooks Koepka, who said he hoped the league would be further along. Advertisement LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil said they were hopeful of seeing progress in the review and approval process ahead of the 2026 major season. "LIV Golf is committed to working together with the Official World Golf Ranking and its board to ensure the very best players are competing in the game's most prestigious events," O'Neil said. "We are confident our application addresses the outstanding questions that exist to support a more global, all-encompassing, and accurate ranking system." Golfweek's Cameron Jourdan and Reuters' Rohith Nair contributed to this report. This article originally appeared on Golfweek: LIV Golf has applied again for Official World Golf Ranking points

Who Is Reese Witherspoon's Boyfriend? All About Financier Oliver Haarmann
Reese Witherspoon has been linked to Oliver Haarmann since 2024 A source told PEOPLE in October 2024 that the two were "having fun" together The Legally Blonde actress was seen packing on the PDA with the German financier in July 2025Reese Witherspoon looks smitten with boyfriend Oliver Haarmann! The Morning Show actress has been dating the German financier since 2024, and the two were seen packing on the PDA during a romantic vacation in July 2025. In photos obtained by PEOPLE, the couple were photographed kissing and hugging while taking in the sights on a yacht off the coast of Saint-Tropez, France. PEOPLE confirmed in September 2024 that Witherspoon and Haarmann were dating after they were seen spending time together in New York City earlier that year in July. At the time, a source told PEOPLE that Witherspoon was "taking things slow when it comes to dating." Another insider shared that they were "having fun" and that she "often flies between Nashville and N.Y.C. to see him." Witherspoon's relationship with Haarmann marked her first public romance since getting divorced from Jim Toth in August 2023. The former couple share son Tennessee James Toth. Witherspoon also has daughter Ava Phillippe and son Deacon Phillippe with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. So, who is Reese Witherspoon's boyfriend, Oliver Haarmann? Here's everything to know about the financier and their romance. Haarmann is a graduate of Brown University and Harvard University, the latter of which he earned a master's in business administration from, per his LinkedIn. The financier started his career at KKR, a global investment firm in London, before leaving to found Searchlight Capital Partners, a private equity firm, in 2010. He has continued his role as a partner where he works with his two cofounders to oversee the firm's activities and portfolio, per his bio on their website. In December 2023, Sportico reported that Haarmann was in negotiations to buy 10% of the New York Islanders. A couple of months later, The New York Post reported that the Islanders confirmed Haarmann did buy a stake in the team, making him the second person to do so in one year. Like Witherspoon, Haarmann was previously married. He and his ex-wife, Mala Gaonkar, divorced after welcoming two children together. Gaonkar is a successful financier herself, starting her own hedge fund, SurgoCap Partners, in 2022. Like her ex-husband, she graduated from Harvard University with a master's in business administration. Before founding her own fund, Gaonkar worked as a founding partner of investment firm Lone Pine Capital. She also is a writer, collaborating with musician David Byrne to write an immersive theater performance in 2016. The two attended the Academy Awards together in March 2023. Along with his ex-wife Gaonkar and their friend, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation veteran Sema Sgaier, Haarmann founded a charity, Surgo Foundation. 'If you don't actually listen to people and find out what they really care about, you're not helping anyone,' Gaonkar told W in May 2017 of the charity's purpose. Witherspoon and Haarmann dined at L'Artusi in N.Y.C. in July 2024 after flying into the city via helicopter the previous day. "She enjoys it but doesn't want it to be a big focus. She's busy with work and her son," a source told PEOPLE of Witherspoon's perspective on dating. "These are her biggest priorities." Before her meetup with Haarmann in the city, Witherspoon spent time with pals Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz over the weekend. Witherspoon's dinner with Haarmann came a year after her divorce with Toth was finalized. "It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce," Witherspoon and Toth said in a statement when announcing their split in March 2023. "We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together." She has previously spoken about the difficulties she experienced following her split, telling Harper's Bazaar in August 2023 that sharing her story herself felt more 'authentic' than letting others tell it, as they did during her split with Phillippe. "To be able to talk to people directly about what's going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what's happening," she said. "Then, of course, there's speculation, but I can't control that. All I can do is be my most honest, forthright self and be vulnerable,' she added. Witherspoon shared that while the divorce was a 'vulnerable' time for her, she felt 'very connected' with those going through the same thing as her. One year after they first sparked romance rumors, Witherspoon and Haarmann were seen kissing and hugging while spending time together off the coast of Saint-Tropez. They were photographed swimming in the water while smiling and sharing sweet moments together. Prior to their yacht outing, a source told PEOPLE in October 2024 that he had been getting to know her two sons. "He's spending time with her kids too," the insider shared. "Reese loves that he's a businessman and not into Hollywood." Read the original article on People
