LIV players returning to PGA Tour has been a trickle. The tour might need to plan for more
Any notion that players lured away by the Saudi Arabia riches of LIV Golf would never return to the PGA Tour doesn’t…
The trickle of LIV players returning to the PGA Tour is growing, with five ex-LIV players potentially participating in the season opener in California. Brooks Koepka, the first to return, struggled during his debut, finishing 94th in the FedEx Cup and expressing disappointment. Patrick Reed, who opted not to renew his LIV contract, is leading the Race to Dubai and is guaranteed a PGA Tour card for 2027.
Other returning players, such as Eugenio Chacarra, Bernd Wiesberger, and Shaun Norris, are also eager to return to the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour is actively working to improve its schedule for 2028 and the postseason format, with CEO Brian Rolapp emphasizing that there were no merger talks with LIV Golf.
