Confirmation of further defections to Saudi-backed tour expected in coming days

Out of respect to the US Open, those players considering a move to LIV have kept their counsel. That is set to change. The clouds could darken again over the traditional circuits if, as rumoured, a number of younger players currently inside the world’s top 20 move to LIV.

Keith Pelley, the chief executive of the European Tour, has admitted that many players who have remained loyal have questioned why he, or the tour, has not followed the example of the PGA Tour and suspended defectors. What’s increasingly clear is that the fracturing of the men’s professional golfing landscape will have grown by then, with tournaments like the Irish Open already affected in terms of the quality of the field.
