For the Abu Dhabi event, LIV Golf has extended its invitation to the players who have previously participated in the Palmer Cup, Walker Cup, Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup. More importantly, golfers of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour could also enter. But the event has generated some big and unexpected responses from its contemporary leagues who haven’t forgotten the earlier betrayal by many of their players.

What is the response of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour?

While the PGA Tour has granted permission to its golfers to participate in the Abu Dhabi event as long as it is just for this one time with no strings attached, the DP World Tour differs. The European league has issued a stern warning to its players that if they participate next month then they could be charged with fines and face suspension.

The memo also says that if they take up membership for the 2024 season and wish to play in any tournament other than the Alfred Dunhill Championship, then they must apply in writing for a release to play within 24 hours. With its previous loss, DPWT is in no mood for negotiation this time.
