PGA Tour disciplines golfers 'who have decided to turn their backs' on PGA for LIV

Golfers participating in LIV Golf tournaments will no longer be eligible to compete in PGA Tour events and the Presidents Cup, Commissioner Jay Monahan told members in a memo obtained by Fox News Digital on Thursday.
The memo to PGA Tour members was sent as LIV Golf’s first tournament teed off in London. The Saudi-backed league will feature stars like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Kevin Na, Lee Westwood and others. Monahan thanked those who committed to this weekend's RBC Canadian Open and addressed his letter to "those players who have decided to turn their backs on the PGA TOUR by willfully violating a regulation."
quote:
The memo specifically singled out Johnson, Mickelson, Na, Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Talor Gooch, Branden Grace, Matt Jones, Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell, Andy Ogletree, Louis Oosthuizen, Turk Pettit, Ian Poulter, Charl Schwartzel, Hudson Swafford and Peter Uihlein. Monahan said either these players didn’t receive releases to play in LIV Golf or didn’t apply for the releases at all.
Players who resigned their memberships, including Garcia, Grace, Johnson, Kaymer, McDowell, Na, Oosthuizen, Pettit, Schwartzel and Westwood, would be removed from the FedEx Cup Points List following the conclusion of the RBC Canadian Open, according to the memo. Those players who resigned will not be allowed to play in PGA Tour tournaments as a non-member via sponsor exemption or any other eligibility category.

This is grade school playground style talk.

I'm ignorant on this topic..does this mean those players mentioned that are going to LIV can't paly in the masters?

The majors are their own entities and will make their own decisions about this.

They can play in all the majors right now.

Cut of your nose to spite your face.

Also, lawsuits will be coming. I expect the PGA will lose.

I highly doubt the Masters welcomes back DJ or Phil

I'll bet you they don't ban the LIV players.

PGA Tour is acting like a baby back bitch over this

I don't see why anyone would "highly doubt" that. They're not turning away their Masters champions.

Yea don’t see the masters wanting former champions turned away and thus weakening the field.
I could see the US open doing it.
I think The Open will also allow the LIV guys

I don't get why PGA has such an issue with players playing in LIV but not other tours. You can't fault someone for taking the money LIV is offering.

Because it could ruin the PGA Tour and professional golf in general. It’s not difficult to understand.

And it'll be their fault. If Monohan wasn't totally imcompentent we wouldn't even be having this conversation

The entire premise of Augusta is in the image of Bobby Jones, who choose to never accept a dollar to play golf. Those guys are sanctimonious as frick

How though if you have them playing in both tours? It doesn't ruin the PGA tour when PGA players spend some tune playing in the European tour or any other tour. LIV is a completely different format even. More golf is not a bad thing.

But they are still considered PGA events...even the Masters

LIV is fantastic for the players, it’s a loss for fans
I root for the PGA because I am a fan, not because I give a frick about the actual people at the PGA
