The PGA of America has announced that LIV Golf players are now eligible to compete in the PGA Championship and the U.S. Ryder Cup team, a rule change aimed at ensuring the best American players participate in these prestigious events. This decision aligns with previous instances where LIV players, like Brooks Koepka, were allowed to compete. The PGA of America's interim CEO, Kerry Haigh, clarified that this move simplifies the qualification process for LIV golfers, offering them the same membership privileges as PGA Tour and DP World Tour players. This change addresses the difficulty LIV players faced in earning points needed for such competitions. Despite initial reluctance, this adjustment aims to unify the professional golf landscape and provide equal opportunities for all golfers.
