“However to remain a PGA Tour player, I must give up my right to make these choices about my career.”Na is a five-time PGA Tour winner with $37.9 million in career earnings. The PGA Tour requires members to play 15 times a year, and it historically grants releases for at least three overseas tournaments a year. However, it denied releases for the LIV Golf Invitational because of its threat as a series of eight tournaments, five of them in the United States. While the tour does not run the majors, the relationship is such that majors could honor PGA Tour regulations if a player is suspended. “I hope the current policies change and I’ll be able to play on the PGA Tour again,” Na wrote.
