Billy Horschel urges for LIV Golf players to be included in The Players tournament to maintain its status as golf's unofficial fifth major. The absence of LIV golfers for the second year in a row has affected the depth of the field, with several top players unable to participate. Horschel suggests changes may be necessary to preserve the tournament's reputation.

Billy Horschel has called for LIV Golf players to be handed an 'olive branch' and be welcomed back into The Players to cement the tournament's status as golf's unofficial fifth major. The Players has previously offered the deepest field in the sport but is without LIV golfers for the second successive year, with all players who have joined the Saudi-backed circuit ineligible to feature on the PGA Tour.

Two of the current major champions - Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka - are both missing from the field, with 2022 Players winner Cameron Smith and former world No 1 Dustin Johnson also not able to play.
