The PGA Tour announced on Thursday that it had suspended the players who are competing in the London event and that players who compete in any LIV events are ineligible to participate on the PGA Tour or any other tours it sanctions.
So far, 20 of the top 100 players in the world have signed on for the circuit, with more likely to join.
This is a war that the PGA is certain to lose , with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf offering sizeable payouts, golf must move, however grudgingly, into the free-agent era.
And in the end of the day, it is the big-name players that give the PGA Tour its shine, not the other way around.
