Individual golf contributing to a team score isn't traditional team golf. Everyone's scores count and it's not a scramble.

But the main one is qualification and relegation criteria that apply. With contracts and team captains, there are many ways to stay on the LIV tour even if you are not playing well.
So LIV is disqualified from OWGR points because they don't have a Korn Ferry Tour to take players from and instead sign higher quality established golfers directly? I'm pretty sure LIV is affiliated with the Asian Tour and feeds in players from there too.

A player may not take a risk to protect their team score, which harms the individual competition.

And yet, the OWGR board had more of an issue with the team aspect of LIV Golf. Last April, one LIV golfer, Sebastian Muñoz, admitted to lagging a putt on the 18th green to secure the team title instead of trying to win the individual competition.
Had that putt dropped, Muñoz would have tied Brooks Koepka, forcing a playoff.
“It’s weird because I knew we were one stroke ahead on the team, so I couldn’t go extra. I knew I couldn’t be too aggressive,” Munoz said afterward, per The Associated Press.
