Also, he mentioned that the Saudi-backed tour concept is exciting, and players find it ‘liberating.’ He said, “The ones on LIV feel like they have been liberated. There are players on the PGA Tour that we’re speaking to today that want to be liberated.”

From the statement, one can conclude that there are a few names in the head of Norman and LIV who will be part of the tour. However, for now, the rumors are just false alarms until authorities make official announcements; they are mere speculations.

What will happen to the players leaving PGA?

If the PGA players leave the tour and join LIV, their fate will be the same as the current LIV defectors. They will be suspended from the PGA tour and won’t be allowed to play any major event on the circuit.

Also, they might face a backlash from the fans, and big names like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy might not encourage the decision. They have been against the Saudi-backed circuit and have refused to join it.
