The PGA is bringing down the hammer on golfers deciding to participate in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series this weekend. Seventeen players have been suspended by the Professional Golfers’ Association, including a handful of big names.
The ban includes participation in the Presidents Cup, which for the International team is determined by the world ranking.
The USGA already has said eligible players can still compete in the U.S. Open next week. The PGA Tour does not run the majors.
Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Patrick Reed were joined by Bryson DeChambeau this week as members of the rival league.
