Spuzz The field is full now so Fowler will have to wait, unless they boot somebody out at the last minute.

I have to assume there's a contingency plan for more players? Seems it wouldn't be hard to increase the field. What if another 10 pretty big names jump ship, are those lower end guys just out of luck?

      I assume so, but I was referring to this week only, as it's a bit late to expand the field now.
      Big picture, I think they feel there will be more joining in. How many? No idea. Depends on whether the PGA and DP decide to cooperate/coexist or if the PGA continue to try and save it's monopoly, and their salaries, with a heavy hand.

          Spuzz it's a bit late to expand the field now.

          The field has been expanded, with the addition of the players since the last tournament.
          Remember, these are team events, team members chosen by Captains at each event.

          I wanna see pics posted of the faces of those not chosen to play in an event. 🤨😅 Hope their mommies are not in town!

              I believe the field size is still 48.
              3 spots were left open in anticipation of the recent defectors, and are now filled.
              Wolffe, Ortiz and the #2 Am are the last in.
              Also reading/rumours, that Fleetwood, Stenson and Berger are next, with Stenson having the most to lose at this point.

                  Same face as the guy who got picked last. 😂

                      sdandrea1 But not now. Last man is happy, making at least $120K, for 3 days of 'playing around'.

                        Spuzz Berger are next, with Stenson having the most to lose at this point.

                        Berger is having back problems, has all year; pulled out of our tourney yesterday.
                        Isn't Stenson supposed to be Ryder Cup, or President's Cup captain next round?

                        If it is LIV Golf, and there are 54 holes, why are there not 54 players(3 x 18) when it is shotgun starts?

                            Par4QC pulled out of our tourney yesterday.

                            I think anybody who WD's from any tourney is automatically on the rumour list of defectors.

                            Yes, Stenson is Ryder Captain and will lose it if he defects.

                            I have no idea how Saudi math works.
                            😉

                              Par4QC Stenson

                              Maybe he has dual citizenship 🤔😂

                                Par4QC whilst shitting on their own members.

                                Including 10 more "carrots" to lead the donkeys, unless I am reading that wrong.
                                I expected no less, btw, since the beginning.
                                😉

                                    Spuzz Bringing over the top 10 from Europe, automatic PGA cards. That means there will be 10 less keeping their cards this season on The PGA. And, 10 that won't make it in from college/Korn Ferry Tour, next season. It really does have quite the domino effect.

                                    But JT and Rory are happy, I'd bet. Eliminates the possibility of 10 up & coming TWs to beat them.

                                    And, to be sure, those LIV players can now consider themselves banned in Europe, with this agreement. Strings attached, for DP Tour agreement, no doubt.

                                        IMO, not a good decision to get in bed with the pretty whore for a small "piece", lest you catch something, and maybe wake up with your wallet gone.

                                          Saudi Arabia signs $133m deal with DP World to create region's largest logistics hub at Jeddah port...The European Tour better look out - The Saudi's may end up being their owner if they sink their teeth into DP World any further...

                                          garyt1957 We don't care about the DP Tour, and I never said it helped them. It only helps the PGA Tour. (maybe).
                                          My real point is that the PGA just screwed over at min. 10 of their own players, while threatening to ban them if they play elsewhere.

                                          I'm not even sure those top 10 guys, all of them, will even come here to play.

                                          What happens when the bottom 10 on the PGA list has made more money than those 10 getting the 'free ride', but they have to go through Q school????
