PGA loyalists, not LIV jumpers, set to be rewarded - report

GOLFERS WHO stayed loyal to the US PGA Tour, but not those who jumped to LIV Golf, will receive equity shares in a new for-profit entity, ESPN reported on Friday.

“The new would grow, and the players would get a piece of equity that would enhance and increase in value as time went on,” Dunne told ESPN. Players who left for rich deals with LIV would not be eligible for any equity stake, but have already reaped the benefit of huge money deals with the upstart series.Dunne also said a committee that includes current PGA Tour players would decide on any potential punishments for players who left for LIV but would want to return to the PGA Tour.

Punishments for players would likely be considered on a case-by-case basis for those who departed but seek a return, ESPN said citing unnamed sources, with the 11 players who sued the PGA Tour in US federal court and those who recruited talent to LIV likely to get hit harder than others.
