LIV Golf players, including prominent figures like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, have been declared eligible for the U.S. Ryder Cup team and the PGA Championship by the PGA of America. This decision follows the expiration of a previous grace period and ensures that LIV players can qualify through points earned in major championships or be selected as captain's picks. The move aims to maintain the strongest possible field for these events despite ongoing tensions between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. However, European LIV players face stricter eligibility criteria, requiring membership and participation in DP World Tour events. This development is part of broader efforts to integrate LIV Golf into the traditional golf ecosystem, despite the lack of a finalized unification deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
