PGA Tour and LIV Golf leaders address post-2026 future

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said his organization is not yet focused on reintegrating players from LIV Golf. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil is actively seeking new investors after the Public Investment Fund announced it will end its backing after the 2026 season.

Rolapp told The Rich Eisen Show that conversations with players seeking clarity are natural but that the PGA Tour remains focused on its own future. He noted that all LIV players remain under contract and that any potential return program would need membership approval. Rolapp added that the earlier Returning Members Program offered to Brooks Koepka is no longer available.
