Rahm describes world ranking system as 'laughable'

Jon Rahm believes LIV Golf must wait to be awarded world ranking points which he feels have been rendered "laughable" by the updated system.

Changes implemented earlier this year include points being awarded to each player making the cut and the total on offer being calculated on every player in the field, rather than just those in the world's top 200.

"Would you rather win a tournament when you have the number one player in the world there or because you have the 30th or sixth there? I think it's more valuable if
