Laurie Canter Reported to Shun 2026 PGA Tour Card for Return to LIV Golf

The PGA Tour’s tighter exemptions for 2026 are being cited as part of his calculus.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite social and media reports that Canter plans to decline his 2026 PGA Tour card to rejoin LIV Golf, with no official confirmation yet.
  • The 36-year-old secured PGA eligibility by finishing seventh in the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai after wins in Hamburg and Bahrain.
  • Coverage links him to Majesticks GC following Henrik Stenson’s relegation and notes shared management ties and guaranteed compensation as factors.
  • Reporting highlights the PGA Tour’s reduction of fully exempt cards from 125 to 100 in 2026 as part of his risk–reward calculation.
  • The reported decision has drawn online backlash and could pass the final PGA Tour card to England’s Daniel Brown if the spot is vacated.
