PGA Tour Urged to Set Clear Path for LIV Stars’ Return

Tour leaders signal a 2027 product-first reset that favors merit over grudges.

Overview

  • Eamon Lynch pressed the PGA Tour to codify a merit-based readmission policy before a top LIV player seeks to come back.
  • LIV CEO Scott O’Neil said Brooks Koepka is “signed for 2026,” a hedged remark that fueled speculation about Koepka’s near-term plans.
  • PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp and Tiger Woods’ Future Competition Committee are crafting a 2027 model built on parity, scarcity, and simplicity.
  • Reporting describes LIV’s leverage as diminished, citing no major signings since Jon Rahm, consistently low viewership, and limited sponsor backing.
  • The locker room remains split on readmitting defectors, while figures including Greg Norman, Ian Poulter, and Bryson DeChambeau express doubt a merger will happen soon.
