‘Different Than the PGA Tour’: Despite Their Strategic Alliance, Keith Pelly Contradicts Jay Monahan as He Plans to Go Easy on the LIV Defectors

There is no golf fan in the world who is not aware of the feud between the Saudi-funded league and the prestigious PGA Tour. Many renowned golfers such as Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Cameron Smith have left the PGA Tour to play for LIV Golf. It is argued that the main reason why these players switched to LIV Golf is money and a better and less hectic schedule. The PGA Tour has also banned the LIV Golf defectors indefinitely from playing in its tournaments. In a recent episode of The Bunkered Golf Podcast, DP World Tour Chief, Keith Pelley made some very interesting remarks about the players joining LIV Golf.

“It’s important to understand that whatever decision that we make, the players will still be able, the LIV players will still be able to play”, said Pelley highlighting the fact that DP World Tour will allow LIV Golfers to play. The chief also spoke that joining the Saudi League would solely be the players’ choice and staying on DP World Tour would also be the players’ choice. “It is their choice, it was their choice to go play on LIV. And it will be their choice, whether they decide they want to continue in play on the DP World Tour.”

Pelley also spoke that the players will have plenty of opportunities to play golf. Keith Pelley assured that players will get better treatment as compared to what the other players have gotten who have left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.
