Henrik Stenson Cleared to Rejoin DP World Tour in 2026 After LIV Relegation

The 2016 Open champion regained eligibility by settling more than £1 million in disciplinary fines.

Overview

  • Stenson, 49, served an undisclosed suspension and can compete on the European circuit next season.
  • He finished 49th in LIV’s 2025 standings in the relegation drop zone despite captaining Majesticks GC.
  • He opted for a European return rather than attempting to re-qualify through the LIV promotions event.
  • His ongoing role and minority stake with Majesticks GC remain unclear for the 2026 season.
  • Bunkered reported LIV had covered some player fines in the past, and the league says that practice ends December 31.
