While LIV members have participated in major championships and co-sanctioned events like the Genesis Scottish Open, this marks the first instance where a player who has competed on the LIV circuit will be eligible to participate in a standard PGA Tour tournament without additional tour affiliations.
Of the six DP World Tour events contested so far in 2023-2024 – billed the “Opening Swing” by the tour – five were won by LIV golfers who don’t have status on the DP World Tour but were participants in the tournament via sponsors’ exemptions.
