Members of the LIV Golf setup have seen their names tumble down the world rankings after their decision to leave the PGA Tour, however an outing at last week's Masters has given some players a much-needed boost

A group of LIV Golf stars finally saw their names move in the right direction on the Official World Golf Ranking after making the cut at last week's Masters.

Six stars however ensured their world ranking is trending upwards, with Bryson DeChambeau the biggest mover after his tied-sixth finish. As well as the Crushers GC captain, here is a look at who else managed to bank some much-needed ranking points in Georgia. Cam Smith Joining DeChambeau in the tied-sixth spot was Ripper GC skipper Cam Smith. The Australian star knows exactly what it takes to get over the line on the major stage, winning the 2022 Open Championship just weeks before his LIV defection. This time around Smith was unable to get hold of the coveted green jacket but made a good account of himself around a course where he has an impressive record.

For Hatton the finish was more important than most, with the Legion XIII star banking himself a spot at the 2025 Masters regardless of his ranking in 12 months' time after ending the week inside the top-12 on the leaderboard.
