Among the biggest questions associated with LIV’s debut was how and when the PGA Tour would respond to players officially teeing it up in an unsanctioned, unapproved event.
They didn’t have to wait long. A release from PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan came through as the pros were on their second holes on Thursday and Monahan didn’t mince words: The Tour players in the LIV field were immediately suspended from participating in any PGA Tour events.
......
There was a list of suspended pros at the bottom of the letter:
Sergio Garcia
Talor Gooch
Branden Grace
Dustin Johnson
Matt Jones
Martin Kaymer
Graeme McDowell
Phil Mickelson
Kevin Na
Andy Ogletree
Louis Oosthuizen
Turk Pettit
Ian Poulter
Charl Schwartzel
Hudson Swafford
Peter Uihlein
Lee Westwood
Of those, all but Gooch, Jones, Mickelson, Ogletree, Poulter, Swafford and Uihlein have resigned their PGA Tour memberships.
......
It didn’t take more than a few minutes for LIV to issue a response, calling the PGA Tour’s decision “vindictive” and “troubling” and adding that this “certainly is not the last word on this topic.”
