'Top Players May Miss Paris Olympics': Anirban Lahiri On LIV-OWGR Stand-Off
India's Anirban Lahiri feels many top-ranked golfers may not qualify for the Paris Olympics due to the stand-off between LIV Golf and Official World Golf Ranking, saying it could prove to be a wake-up call for the world to take some action. The 36-year-old Lahiri plays in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf, which is not recognised by the Official World Golf Ranking, making it extremely tough for him to grab one of the 60 spots at the Games. "There's no point in speculating on what ifs. The reality of the situation is what it is. And within that framework, you have to find a way to qualify," said Lahiri, who will be competing at the Hero India Open this week, told reporters.
