DP World Tour to Bar LIV Golf Players From 2027, Report Says
According to a BBC Sport report, the DP World Tour will not accept LIV Golf players as members from 2027 - a rule that also decides who can play for Europe in the Ryder Cup.
The DP World Tour is set to stop LIV Golf players from joining its membership from 2027, according to a BBC Sport report cited by CBS Sports. Because playing for Europe in the Ryder Cup requires DP World Tour membership, the change would also settle who is eligible for the 2027 match at Adare Manor.
Until now the tour has let some players compete on both circuits: nine LIV Golf players received conditional releases last season. Under the reported new rules, members must declare any future LIV Golf participation, and failing to do so can cost them their membership.
Chief executive Guy Kinnings said players 'need to make a choice', adding that those unwilling to follow the tour's rules should not seek to join it. Several European players, including Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin and Adrian Meronk, already hold DP World Tour status for 2027.
Why it matters
It settles a two-year grey area: European golfers who stay with LIV would give up their Ryder Cup place.
What's next
A formal DP World Tour announcement is expected; players have until the 2027 membership deadline to choose.
