Monahan announced Thursday in a memorandum that all 17 members of the PGA Tour — by Saturday, that number had climbed to 20 — who chose to participate in the LIV Golf series would be barred from participating in PGA Tour events and the Presidents Cup. But they can’t demand the same PGA Tour membership benefits, considerations, opportunities and platform as you,” the memo stated. They will also not be allowed to play in PGA Tour tournaments as non-members via sponsor exemption or any other eligibility category.
