The PGA Tour has surprisingly determined that its players can partake in a LIV Golf promotion event next month.<\/p>\n
Previously, PGA players faced a one-year ban if they participated in LIV events, which were considered ‘unauthorized.’<\/p>\n
However, Tour players will not be punished if they compete in the LIV Golf promotion event, as the PGA has said in a statement that the event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club will be considered a ‘qualifying event only.’<\/p>\n
‘Based on the information publicly available regarding the LIV Golf Promotion event, it is determined to be a qualifying event only and not a part of an unauthorized series,’ the Tour said.<\/p>\n

‘Therefore, the LIV Golf Promotion event is not categorized as an ‘unauthorized tournament.’ This classification is subject to change should the details of the event change.’<\/p>\n
The news was first reported by Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n
The top three finishers in the promotion event will be awarded a spot in the LIV tour for next year.<\/p>\n
It will take place across Dec 8-10, with a $1.5million purse.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this week, it was reported by\u00a0Alan Shipnuck\u00a0that the proposed merger between the PGA and LIV was falling apart.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Captain Bryson DeChambeau of Crushers GC, Captain Dustin Johnson of 4Aces GC and Captain Bubba Watson of the RangeGoats GC are interviewed<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The sport’s two warring sides had called a truce in June. Pictured is LIV CEO Greg Norman\u00a0<\/p>\n The agreement would essentially see the PGA Tour, Europe’s DP World Tour and LIV Golf come under one umbrella in a new for-profit company called ‘PGA Tour Enterprises’ in which the PIF would be a minority investor.<\/p>\n Byt Shipnuck claimed that New York-based private equity firm Fenway Partners has submitted a bid that could usurp the PIF’s.<\/p>\n \u00a0The Tour is said to be committed to a new business model but not necessarily with PIF, according to Shipnuck.\u00a0<\/p>\n He added that the framework agreement was aspirational rather than ‘binding’.<\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PGA Tour makes shocking decision to ALLOW its players to compete in LIV Golf promotion event next month… despite previously banning rebels for defecting to […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294275,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
