Kinnings Forces LIV Golfers To Choose Tour Status By November

The DP World Tour has issued a firm deadline for golfers torn between competing circuits, demanding total allegiance by the 2027 season. Effective next year, any player who signs with LIV Golf will lose their DP World Tour membership, ending the era of dual participation.

This policy, announced by CEO Guy Kinnings, forces high-profile players like Tyrrell Hatton, Victor Perez, and Tom McKibbin—who currently hold status on both tours—to choose by November 16. The move directly impacts Ryder Cup eligibility, as only DP World Tour members can represent Europe in the 2027 competition at Adare Manor.

Meanwhile, LIV Golf, facing financial instability after exiting Chapter 11 bankruptcy, struggles to secure new funding amid restructuring efforts, adding urgency to the decision for players weighing financial contracts against team commitments.
