LIV Golf Players' Return Path Remains Unresolved Amid Abu Dhabi Championship

LIV Golf Players' Return Path Remains Unresolved Amid Abu Dhabi Championship
World Sports · 21:45:39 - Monday, 9 November 2026

The pathway for LIV Golf players to return to the PGA Tour remains unresolved, with negotiations described as "under construction" as of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on November 6, 2026.

LIV Golf members Jon Rahm of Spain and Tyrrell Hatton of England competed in the second round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, highlighting the ongoing presence of LIV players in international events outside the PGA Tour. Rahm was seen speaking with Italy's Francesco Laporta on the 18th green.

Bryson DeChambeau, captain of Crushers GC, previously competed in the LIV Golf South Africa event in March 2026. The LIV Golf series continues to operate separately, with its team championship held at Trump National Doral in October 2023.

Discussions between the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and the Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund have yet to produce a clear framework for player reinstatement, leaving the future eligibility of LIV players for major championships and PGA Tour events uncertain.
