There is still a split in professional golf because the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have not agreed to join yet.

The LIV has some very good players, like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, but the PGA Tour is still the best in most ways.

There has been talk that a deal between LIV and the PGA Tour might not happen at all.

There are a lot of ways that it looks like the PGA Tour no longer needs LIV.

DeChambeau has made it clear that he wants big changes and has said that it’s time to bring together both Tours. The two-time winner of the US Open thinks that things need to get moving right away.

Things don’t seem to be moving very quickly to make that happen, though.

Don’t be surprised if some LIV players start looking for ways to get back into the PGA next year if a deal isn’t made. They might have to swallow some pride along the way.

What the PGA Tour should do if Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka want to come back

Kevin Kisner may not have many games left to play, but he is still a very important figure on the PGA Tour.

This week on the Trey Wingo Podcast, Kisner was asked what he would do when LIV players came back to the PGA Tour with their clubs.

That’s interesting because the major stars you’d want to come back to the Tour have already played there for so long that they won’t have status on our Tour even if we let them back, right?

In South Carolina, I thought about the time gap and said to myself, “If LIV goes away in two years and doesn’t last, then Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau will still be exempt on our Tour.” They might only have to pay a fine to get back to where they were.

“But what do you make them do now that that time has passed?” Should Bryson DeChambeau go to tour school and work to pay for his way back? I’m not sure.

“That’s not something I can figure out, but if the Tour’s new equity program really takes off, then the guys who made so much money in that can’t complain about the money those guys took at LIV because they now own the PGA Tour and these guys don’t.”

So maybe you tell them that because of what they did, they will never own stock or get shares based on their work, and they come right back.”

It’s just an idea.” That seems like a good way to let them back.

I agree with Kisner’s point of view. The players who stayed committed have been rewarded financially, especially since SSG put a lot of money into the PGA Tour last year, around the same time that Rory McIlroy stopped talking to PIF.

Members of the PGA Tour now own shares in the club. It seems fair to leave returning LIV players out of this ownership arrangement.

This is what Brian Rolapp has to say about Bryson DeChambeau and LIV Golf.

Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour, recently answered a number of questions at a CEO Forum. One of them was about whether DeChambeau would be a good fit for the Tour.

“I think Bryson is a star because he’s such a great golfer,” Rolapp said.

“He’s also amazing for what he does when he’s not playing golf. For example, most people see him on YouTube.” To be more specific, they don’t see him on TV because not many people watch that league.

Of course, I think everyone wants to see the best golfers play.” People have a wrong idea about golf, though, because they think that any tournament or battle is important as long as the same three or four people are in it.

You want to see the same three or four people in it,” he said. But if you look at the depth of talent on the PGA Tour, that competitive parity is unmatched, and there’s no tour on Earth with more talent than the PGA Tour.” There are stars in every event, but the middle class is what makes sports work.

With stars like DeChambeau and Koepka, LIV could have some star power. As things stand, though, they don’t have much to offer when it comes to talks with the PGA Tour.
