Overview

  • A PGA Tour spokesperson reiterated that DeChambeau remains suspended from tour competition under its policy on LIV Golf defections dating to 2022.
  • Keegan Bradley has already named DeChambeau to his U.S. Ryder Cup squad and praised him as a key component in the push to reclaim the cup.
  • DeChambeau has not formally applied for a sponsor’s exemption to play in the Procore Championship and his agent says he will join only the team gatherings he is allowed to attend.
  • Team USA instructed its players to use the Sept. 11–14 Procore Championship at Silverado Resort in Napa as a crucial on-course rehearsal two weeks before the Ryder Cup.
  • The dispute highlights a split in golf governance: the PGA of America selects players for the Ryder Cup while the PGA Tour retains exclusive control over eligibility in its regular-season events.
