Conversely, American players who left for LIV can still qualify despite being prohibited from playing in PGA Tour events based on still technically being members of the PGA of America.
In the immediate aftermath of the DP World Tour announcing further fines and sanctions against 26 players who had participated in LIV Golf events over the past 10 months, Henrik Stenson led what will surely be something of a procession by adding his name to last week’s four-strong list of departures and resigned his membership.
The move comes after Stenson was stripped of his Ryder Cup captaincy this summer when he broke his word regarding his involvement with the Saudi-backed circuit.
To say they wasted no time would be an understatement: Ryder Cup Europe executives removed Henrik Stenson as their captain for next year’s event even before he was announced as a new LIV Golf recruit.
