PGA Tour Chief Says No Return Pathway Planned for LIV Golf Stars
Brian Rolapp says the PGA Tour has no plans to create an immediate route back for LIV Golf's leading players following the breakaway league's bankruptcy filing, BBC Sport reports.
PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp has said there are no plans to establish an instant pathway back to the tour for LIV Golf's top players, according to BBC Sport.
The comments come after the Saudi-backed breakaway series filed for bankruptcy protection, BBC Sport reported.
Rolapp's remarks suggest that, despite LIV Golf's financial difficulties, the PGA Tour is not preparing a formal mechanism to reintegrate the players who left to join the rival circuit.
LIV Golf launched in 2022 with backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, attracting a number of prominent players away from the PGA Tour with substantial financial offers. The move led to a split in professional golf, with some players banned or suspended from PGA Tour events after joining the rival series.
BBC Sport did not provide further detail in the excerpt regarding the specifics of LIV Golf's bankruptcy filing or additional comments from Rolapp on the future relationship between the two tours.
