LIV Golf Pros eligible for major events
The PGA of America has announced that LIV Golf professionals will remain eligible to compete in the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup, ensuring the strongest field in golf and access to top American players. Despite reports suggesting the PGA of America might revoke memberships, the organization confirmed LIV Golfers can participate in both events, with American players eligible for the Ryder Cup through points or captain’s picks. This decision aligns with past practice, as LIV Golf players have competed in the PGA Championship for the past two years, and Brooks Koepka was a member of the US Ryder Cup team in 2023. Overall, despite facing intense criticism and scrutiny, LIV Golf has had a pretty solid year, with growing attendance, increased visibility, and now, continued eligibility for major events.
