The DP World Tour has announced it will not allow any player who signs up to LIV Golf for the 2027 season to be a member of its circuit. This means players like Joaquin Niemann and Thomas Pieters, who do not have DP World Tour status, must choose between playing exclusively on either tour or face significant penalties, including ineligibility for the Ryder Cup. Previously, conditional agreements allowed top players such as Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to compete on both tours simultaneously, but those options are no longer available. Players have until November 16 to declare their tour allegiance for next year, with DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings emphasizing that members must abide by the organization's rules. This decision marks a tougher stance compared to previous years and comes amid LIV Golf's efforts to secure funding and restructure its operations, despite recent uncertainty surrounding its future.
