PGA Tour's Returning Member Program takes aim at LIV's top golfers
Key Points:
- The PGA Tour's Returning Members Program requires golfers to have won a major championship or The Players Championship between 2022 and 2025 to qualify.
- LIV Golf players Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cameron Smith meet these elite performance criteria and have until February 2 to decide if they will return to the PGA Tour.
- Despite qualifying, DeChambeau and Rahm have suggested they will continue playing for LIV Golf this season, while Smith has openly confirmed his commitment to LIV.
- Notably, Phil Mickelson, a vocal critic of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf player, does not meet the criteria to return under this program.
