Steven Alker says some PGA Tour Champions golfers don't want LIV golfers

The PGA Tour Champions concluded its season with the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix, wrapping up a year that saw a few key absences. Bernhard Langer, a stalwart of the senior circuit since 2008, notably did not compete, leaving a field otherwise dominated by the tour’s top names.

However, the future of the Champions Tour may face a significant shift as discussions swirl over how to integrate former LIV Golf players into the lineup. Steven Alker, a two-time winner of the season-long points race, acknowledged the internal debate during media day, calling it a ‘Catch-22’—balancing the need to maintain high-profile talent against resistance from some existing players.

Suspensions ranging from six months to a year have been imposed on defectors, raising questions about fairness and eligibility criteria. Meanwhile, speculation continues about Tiger Woods’ potential return to senior golf, with Alker hinting that Woods could make a move if he regains fitness, particularly targeting high-profile events like the U.S.

Senior Open or invitationals.
