Overview

  • The PGA Tour has confirmed that as a LIV Golf member DeChambeau is ineligible for Tour competition and cannot play the Procore Championship in Napa.
  • Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley described the suspension as beyond his control and said he believed the team event should transcend Tour politics.
  • DeChambeau has secured an automatic spot on Team USA, ranking fifth in Ryder Cup standings after a season of top-five major finishes.
  • With a sponsor’s exemption unlikely, DeChambeau’s camp is seeking invitations to the DP World Tour’s Irish Open and planning private team sessions to maintain his competitive edge.
  • Supporters and analysts are calling on the PGA Tour to grant a special exemption so DeChambeau can join his teammates for crucial on-course bonding before Bethpage Black.
