PGA Tour Says No Fast-Track Return Planned for LIV Golf Stars
PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp indicates there is no immediate pathway back for players who left for the Saudi-backed breakaway series, following reports of its bankruptcy filing.
PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp has said the organisation is not planning to create an instant pathway back for LIV Golf's biggest stars, according to BBC Sport.
The statement comes after reports that the breakaway series, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Rolapp's comments suggest that players who departed the PGA Tour for LIV Golf will not be granted a straightforward or expedited route back to the tour, despite the reported financial difficulties facing the rival league.
BBC Sport reported the remarks as part of ongoing coverage of the fractured relationship between the two organisations, which has divided professional golf since LIV Golf's launch.
Further details on the reported bankruptcy filing and its implications for LIV Golf's players and operations were not immediately available.
