Its an open event, they'll be able to play the masters as well I'd expect. PGA have just kicked them out of their sanctioned events.
I suppose they will already have qualified for this year, so it's probably an issue going down the line. Most of the qualification routes are through ranking or tour events. If they don't play tour events with ranking points then eventually they will not be eligible?
I don't see Brooks and Bryson turning up at regional qualifying any time soon either.
They both probably have 3 or 4 years exemption left anyway so will be able to play but yeah they'll start to drop out of the top 100 quick enough.
Ballot for the Open at Hoylake next year opened before
It's not cheap, but awfully expensive either

Yup. He’s on the downside on his career at this point

Wouldn't have expected Koepka to jump ship to LIV, he kind of strikes me as the type of guy to need to play with the best of the best.
Big scalp for LIV that though

As the Saudi tour keeps signing washed up fellas with decent names, wonder what happens to the no-name players who jumped over right away for 1-2m
Took a quick payday and got banned from the PGA, but are so easily replaceable

Keep hearing players saying "more time with the family" would they have jumped ship if their was no extra money to be made?
The answer is no.
Fowler is probably the next one. Big name recognition but his game has been in the dumpster for some time now
Yeah he has been linked, and I wouldn't be shocked. Always liked him, so be a shame

Guess we’ll find out if this has staying power or not. I very much don’t like it. Now we’re just in a place with two diluted products. If LIV can’t figure out how to get ranking points, these guys are just going to keep getting more and more irrelevant in the next couple years.
This is it for me, these players have jumped at the money but what is the long term aim of this tour. The 3 day 'shotgun' style of golf does not compute with ranking points against players who are playing 4 day cut golf week in week out, it just wouldn't be workable.
They wanted something different, well they might just have to live with that or change to the more conventional golf format to have a viable product outside of just chucking money around.

That might be their long term aim, but given how they’re selling it, I’m not sure how that shift would be received by the players. Won’t be watching personally, as the drama isn’t there. These guys wanted money over everything else and good for them they’ve got it. But at the same time when the 4 footer on 18 the last day is meaningless, it doesn’t have the same intrigue.
