Article from June below explaining releases.

The PGA Tour does not allow releases for North American tournaments. This weeks LIV event is in Boston. You are allowed 3 releases a year for outside North American tournaments. And they always reserve the right to say no.

So the latest defectors are breaking the rules, so they’ll be suspended.

    Typhoon All they do is complain about the LIV tour

    I see they are now running "blood money" ads that are basically a political campaign against LIV.
    The ads aren't GC ads, per se, ( Justice for 9-11 Veterans or something) but they must need the money and agree with them to put that BS on air. No place for it on a Golf Channel, imo.

        Sneakylong The PGA Tour does not allow releases for North American tournaments.

        OK, I did remember it correctly, although it made no sense when I was thinking that. And it still makes no sense if the PGA is on an off week, and no other tournaments are going on. Korn Ferry should not count as it gets no national coverage.

            Sneakylong They would be playing a hell of a lot of tournaments in order to accumulate the points, when combined with the LIV tournaments they have to play.
            I guess they love playing every week after all.

            Question is....can the U.S. PGA members of LIV (join DP) play all the DP tourneys and make points for our team??

              I see that it didn't take long for Cam Smith to become entitled after pocketing all that oil money.

              "boo hoo, we should get world ranking points too, boo hoo, who cares if we're playing scramble formats and playing lift clean and place every weekend, boo hoo, it shouldn't matter if we're only playing 36 holes...

              boo freakin hoo.

              The irony in all this, that I find incredibly amusing...

              In his pursuit to destroy the Tour, Norman is actually making the Tour better. 😂

              So when this LIV thing dies in a few years, Norman will do what he's always done. He'll take all the credit for the added purses on the Tour.

              Because that's just what egomaniacs do.

                PA-PLAYA He'll take all the credit for the added purses on the Tour.

                Well, fact is, he did it, single-handedly. Whether by design or by accident (??), is debatable imo.
                The PGA was never going to cough up the cash they just did. Never. But, they have done much harm, imo, to the Tour as a whole, what with sponsor problems going forward. I can see some tournaments folding in just another year. Our own JDC here is in negotiations for new contract now. If they have to throw in more money, and get even lesser players, they may fold their cards. And I would not blame them. We get shit on every time something goes on like this, and it fell in tons this time. Other places are in the same boat.
                imo, the JDC should look to the Korn Ferry Tour, instead of the PGA Tour.

                    Par4QC the JDC should look to the Korn Ferry Tour, instead of the PGA Tour.

                    Maybe KF and LPGA or Champions? or a mixed tournament of some sort?

                        Spuzz LPGA

                        Oh Hell yes!! Yeah, if they want to put up good money, they'd get the best of the lot. The place would be packed, maybe even more so than with the PGA no names/has beens that have been here from the PGA.

                        They already have a Champions event over in Des Moines, close to us.

                          I’m not sure how to read that….. we’re they booted off LIV or didn’t make the cut for the next LIV event ? One thing for sure, I wouldn’t hire that writer. 🙄

                            Eguller One thing for sure, I wouldn’t hire that writer. 🙄

                            Yes, just the facts ma'am! 😄

                            It does answer the question everyone has been asking, about how they keep signing players when their roster is only supposed to be 48. Hopefully, Phil is next. Horrible play so far.

                            I think I was cut before asked to sign. Rotten bastages. Now I know.

                                Me too.
                                Blackballed before I was eyeballed
                                LOL

                                  Par4QC Yes, just the facts ma'am!

                                  I am reading booted off as gone for good.
                                  Some have gone back to whence they came and others have gone AWOL.
                                  Pablo Larrazabal is playing in Denmark this week.

                                    PA-PLAYA So when this LIV thing dies in a few years, Norman will do what he's always done. He'll take all the credit for the added purses on the Tour.

                                    But won't he deserve that credit? It's not like the PGA Tour is doing all this out of the kindness of their hearts. PGA players should erect a statue of Norman

                                        Sneakylong So then, any time they want to play an 'easier' field of golfers, they can just enter a KF tournament? I. Don't. Think so.
