Only players not already on the LIV Golf roster are eligible for these coveted spots. So, who are the top contenders, and what do they need to do to secure their place in golf’s elite league? Scott Vincent. Rank one Vincent is in a strong position. A win would be ideal, but a top five finish is the safe bet to secure his promotion. A fourth or fifth place finish would give him a comfortable cushion, ensuring he stays ahead of the pack. Yosuk Asaji, ranked two Asagi needs a top five finish to guarantee his spot. A fifth place finish would provide a significant points boost, making it nearly impossible for those below him to catch up. Miguel Tuena, rank three TUA is in a tricky spot. He must outperform the top two to move up. A top three finish is desirable, but a second place finish is the only surefire way to guarantee his promotion. Ali Schneiderjans, rank four, and Wade Ormsby, rank five. These two players need to aim high. A top two finish is required for a guaranteed promotion. Anything less than that, and they’ll be relying on others misfortunes. Kuzuki Higa ranked 10 Higa has a tall order. He must finish first or second. Even a third place finish might not be enough as it would still leave him below the safety threshold. The underdogs ranked 10 to 100 for those ranked 10 to 100. A win is almost a sure ticket to the Ali Golf League. However, if Vincent and Asagi both finish in the top five, it could create a complex scenario for those ranked 50 to 100. And there you have it.
