The PGA Tour will wait until LIV Golf's bankruptcy proceedings conclude before deciding about a pathway back for the breakaway league's players, The Athletic reported Tuesday.
LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in New Jersey are expected to continue until at least January, per the report.
A source told The Athletic that any decisions about LIV players' ability to return to the PGA Tour will be based on long-term benefits, not on the immediate 'sugar high' of commercial benefits.
Questions about the potential professional limbo facing displaced LIV golfers have ramped up since the formerly Saudi-backed circuit announced last week it was shutting down and liquidating assets.
Last January, the PGA Tour announced a Returning Members Program that offered a limited-time pathway back for select top LIV talent. Brooks Koepka accepted the deal, which included a fine and other penalties, while Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith all declined.
Patrick Reed, who did not qualify for the return program, opted not to renew with LIV Golf before the 2026 season and is third in the Race to Dubai standings on the DP World Tour with one event remaining. The top 10 players (not otherwise exempt) receive PGA Tour cards for 2027.
