Interestingly, the 2021 Sony Open champion is the first of many to resign from the Tour to play for the Saudi-backed golf league. “I am sad to share that I have chosen to resign from the PGA Tour,” Na wrote in a public statement revealing his resignation. His statement further read, “I hope the current policies change, and I’ll be able to play on the PGA Tour again.”
Tour had revealed they would take disciplinary actions against the players for signing with the LIV Golf. Later, it was revealed that the organization chose to suspend all the LIV Golf players from attending the Tour-related events.

Thomas has been a strong advocate of the PGA Tour for a long time. He is one of the many to choose the Tour’s legacy over the LIV Golf money.
Yet, the 2-time PGA Championship winner has been recently counted as the next to join the league. It all happened after the PGA Tour revealed his withdrawal from the Travelers Championship without citing a reason. Even though Thomas revealed the actual reason for his withdrawal, the damage has already been done. Nonetheless, Thomas still is a PGA Tour player and is not planning to switch sides now.
