KILKENNY, Ireland – Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia publicly challenged the DP World Tour’s decision to ban and fine them for joining the LIV Golf series, but at least one of the European circuit’s members who crossed the LIV divide was not punished.
Oliver Fisher is one of three DP World Tour members playing this week’s Horizon Irish Open who also played the LIV Golf event last month in London, but unlike the others, he wasn’t fined £100,000.
“To get my release to play [the LIV event], if I wasn’t in [the DP World Tour event] by a certain cut-off date I had a release to play,” said Fisher, who wasn’t qualified for the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed that was held the same week as the first LIV tournament.
