Los líderes del PGA Tour y LIV Golf abordan el futuro tras 2026

El CEO del PGA Tour, Brian Rolapp, afirmó que su organización aún no está centrada en reintegrar a los jugadores de LIV Golf. El CEO de LIV Golf, Scott O’Neil, busca activamente nuevos inversores después de que el Fondo de Inversión Pública anunciara que finalizará su respaldo tras la temporada 2026.

Rolapp declaró en The Rich Eisen Show que las conversaciones con los jugadores que buscan claridad son naturales, pero que el PGA Tour sigue concentrado en su propio futuro. Señaló que todos los jugadores de LIV siguen bajo contrato y que cualquier posible programa de retorno necesitaría la aprobación de los miembros. Rolapp añadió que el Programa de Miembros que Regresan, ofrecido anteriormente a Brooks Koepka, ya no está disponible.
