A number of LIV Golf players are all set to play on the DP World Tour over the coming weeks, and this has raised quite a few eyebrows in the golf world. With the DP World Tour penalizing those who defected, it comes as a surprise that several players will be coming back to play.
The DP World Tour has warned its players to not sign up for the LIV Golf's promotional events, especially as they conflict with the Alfred Dunhill Championship. They have also threatened action against those who wish to join the LIV Golf Q-School.
Then, how are LIV players committing to the DP World Tour?
The simple answer is that there are no conflicting events this week, allowing the players to play on the Tour. The breakaway tour is currently in its off-season, and players such as Cameron Smith and Patrick Reed have been playing on the Asian Tour since the end of the season.
