PGA responds to players joining LIV Golf

The LIV Golf Invitational Series has a field (or most of one) and is set to kick off next week at the Centurion Club in London with its inaugural event. Seven more golfers are expected to follow as the richest golf league in history gets underway. Included in that field are Dustin Johnson, Talor Gooch, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and Hudson Swafford. All are PGA Tour members, and all were denied requests by the PGA Tour to participate in the league.

The PGA Tour issued a brief statement lacking much specificity Wednesday about the decision by these golfers to tee it up at the Centurion Club and presumably participate in the LIV Golf league going forward. Commissioner Jay Monahan has been resolute about his league’s maintenance as the top tour in the world and is excited about its future.

“As communicated to our membership on May 10, PGA Tour members have not been authorized to participate in the Saudi Golf League’s London event, under PGA Tour regulations,” the statement read. “Members who violate the tournament regulations are subject to disciplinary action.”

It’s unclear what this disciplinary action might be, but it is presumed that a suspension or possible ban would be applied to anyone who chooses to go through with playing in the London event.
