What DP World Tour players want LIV golfers to do if they seek return to play next year
Former Ryder Cup player Chris Wood has suggested that it will upset a lot of players if anyone returning from LIV Golf over the coming months is allowed to jump the queue when it comes to their status on the DP World Tour. It is going to be fascinating to follow what happens next for LIV.
Chris Wood, a former Ryder Cup player, has shared his thoughts on what LIV golfers might face if they attempt to return to the DP World Tour in the upcoming year. According to Wood, allowing those who return to skip the queue and jump ahead in the system could be seen as unfair, as it would upset a lot of players on the DP World Tour.
Instead, he believes that returning players should have to earn their way back through the various stages of the tour, similar to how Patrick Reed successfully returned in 2026. Wood also warned the DP World Tour not to grant excessive invites to returning LIV players, as that might not sit well with other players or the tour itself.
The DP World Tour has the potential to become even more exciting in 2027, with the possibility of a new tier being introduced to the PGA Tour, giving returning players a shot at securing a spot among the top players.
