  "account": "The DP World Tour has reinforced its stance on players participating in the reestablished LIV Golf, announcing that those signing up to the revived series will no longer be able to retain their membership. LIV Golf, which is set to resume operations in 2027, lost the backing of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund this year, leading to considerable uncertainty over its future. Jon Rahm has already decided to leave the fledgling series, and several other players may face difficult decisions. The DP World Tour has emphasized that membership is subject to strict rules and regulations, which all players must adhere to. CEO Guy Kinnings stated that players unwilling to comply with these rules should not seek to join the tour. Players such as Hatton and Rahm have been eligible for European Team selections in the Ryder Cup in the past, and are likely to retain their membership if eligible for the 2027 tournament. Other DP World Tour members granted conditional releases for LIV events in 2026 include Laurie Canter, Adrian Meronk, and David Puig, who has now until November 16 to decide on the relaunched series. LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September, but has since secured a new $300m backer in BC Partners Credit, who will provide funding for the next phase of the league, including players becoming equity owners of the league and its teams.",
