He's fallen to No. 449 in the rankings because the OWGR system doesn't recognize LIV participation. In an interview with Australian Golf Digest, Gooch said not having the top players in the field only dilutes the competition. "If Rory McIlroy goes and completes his (career) Grand Slam without some of the best players in the world, there's just going to be an asterisk," he said.
