Will LIV golfers play in the PGA Tour Travelers Championship 2023?

With the merger of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, fans have been expecting to see players from both rival series competing on the same field. However, this is not going to happen anytime soon.

Although PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announced the merger with LIV Golf, he also revealed that the golfers who defected them must meet certain criteria in order to compete in PGA Tour events, causing the LIV golfers to miss the Travellers Championship this week.

The PGA Tour event will be held from June 22 to 25 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. It will feature 156 golfers, including Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and others.

Previously, during the 2023 US Open pre-tournament press conference, Brooks Koepka sparked a new commotion by saying, "See you at Travellers next week."

With his clever quip, he mockingly poked fun at the PGA Tour merger. LIV golfers will not compete in the 2023 Travellers Championship. However, they are allowed to play in the major events.
