PGA Suspends 17 Golfers, Including Phil Mickelson, for Playing in Saudi-Backed LIV Event
"They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates," he said at the time.
As for whether the players will be able to rejoin the tour later, the PGA Tour memo said:"Trust that we're prepared to deal with those questions and we'll approach them in the same way we have this entire process: by being transparent and respecting the PGA TOUR regulations that you helped establish."
"It's troubling that the Tour, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for golfers to play the game, is the entity blocking golfers from playing. This certainly is not the last word on this topic. The era of free agency is beginning as we are proud to have a full field of players joining us in London, and beyond," the organization said.
