The DP World Tour has ended the conditions under which LIV Golf players could compete in its events, saying golfers must comply with the tour’s rules and regulations, according to Fox News’ report published Oct. 13, 2026.
Previously, LIV players could take part in DP World Tour events if they remained in good standing and paid fines for competing in tournaments that conflicted with the tour’s schedule. The report says the Public Investment Fund covered those fines through 2025.
The decision comes as LIV Golf faces Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in New Jersey. The report says the league filed last month and is pursuing a restructuring proposal, known as “LIV 2.0,” that would involve funding from BC Partners for a planned 2027 relaunch and give players majority ownership. Jon Rahm has described the proposal’s terms as unacceptable and said he would not participate, the report states.
The article also reports that LIV has laid off most of its operational staff and that event contractors are awaiting payment. It describes additional legal and financial challenges facing the league, but does not provide independent documentation for those claims.
The DP World Tour’s statement framed participation as a choice for players: those seeking to join the tour must abide by its rules. The source does not specify how the new policy will affect individual players’ eligibility or future events.
