More players are jumping over every day, Brooks Koepka just signed on. PGA is going to have to do something, I would hope they back pedal on the ban of LIV players also playing in PGA events. I think that would be best for the sport overall. Bedminster should be a good event, Trump will be looking to get back at the PGA for pulling the games at his courses.

That's good news. Koepka's name carries some weight. Thanks for the information.

And now Abraham Ancer is with LIV. While not the biggest name, he is the best Mexican player, so that is a big win. This whole scenario is interesting. A few more big names and the PGA is going to be at a point where they will be in danger of needing to make some concessions in allowing these players to play in both tournaments. While it is still very premature, at some point one has to wonder if this becomes the "Premier" league and PGA is the main many-event touring circuit with players being able to play in both tournaments.

I belive the PGA's decision to ban LIV players from particiapting in PGA tournaments was ill informed.

They, the PGA, doesn't requrie golfers to have to play in thier events. And in many of the majors or high profile events, you will see all the top notch players involved. But next week, in some lower level golf event, you won't hardly recognize any of the players. The big names were not interested.

So, it seems ridiculous to me, to ban players who choose to play in an LIV tournament, when you don't require them to play in all of the PGA tournaments.
