PGA Tour not considering return program for LIV Golf players
LIV Golf's bankruptcy filing has left the playing futures of some of the breakaway circuit's biggest names in doubt.
The PGA Tour is not contemplating a program for former LIV Golf players to return to the US-based circuit, despite Brooks Koepka's recent return. LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection recently, and the PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp stated that accountability and discipline are essential for the organization.
Rolapp emphasized that every player must earn their place through meritocracy. Koepka, a major champion, rejoined the PGA Tour in January after a five-year forfeiture of potential equity in the Player Equity Program, which could result in a $50-85 million loss depending on his performance. Five-time major champion Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are among the top unsecured creditors owed over $5 million each.
