{"id":483,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/483","headline":"DP World Tour bars LIV golfers starting in 2027, closing Ryder Cup door","dek":"CEO Guy Kinnings says players who stay with LIV Golf will lose DP World Tour membership and with it a spot on the Ryder Cup team at Adare Manor next fall.","body":"The DP World Tour is done splitting the difference. CEO Guy Kinnings confirmed on Monday that the circuit will no longer grant membership to golfers who sign with LIV Golf starting in 2027, ending the conditional-release arrangement that let players bounce between both leagues in recent seasons.\n\n\"Players need to make a choice,\" Kinnings told BBC Sport. \"We have rules and regulations, which are there to protect our Tour and which our members must all abide by. Players who are not willing to comply with our rules and regulations should not be seeking to join our tour.\"\n\nThe practical fallout lands squarely on the Ryder Cup. Since golfers must hold DP World Tour membership to qualify for that team, any European player who stays with LIV Golf will be ineligible for next fall's event at Adare Manor in Ireland. That forces LIV's European contingent into a real decision heading into 2027.\n\nLIV Golf itself has not released a 2027 schedule, with its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in New Jersey still working through the courts. How the league's roster and finances shake out could shape just how many players actually face this choice.","published_at":"2026-10-12T23:04:35.401115+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour won't allow LIV Golf members to play in both leagues in 2027, setting up Ryder Cup decision","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/golf/article/dp-world-tour-wont-allow-liv-golf-members-to-play-in-both-leagues-in-2027-setting-up-ryder-cup-decision-193925901.html"},{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"DP World Tour Won’t Allow Dual LIV Golf Memberships in 2027","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/dp-world-tour-dual-liv-golf-membership/"},{"outlet":"SB Nation","publisher":"SB Nation","title":"DP World Tour officially bans LIV players from competing in 2027","url":"https://www.sbnation.com/golf/1132113/dp-world-tour-liv-golf"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"LIV players to be barred from DP World Tour in 2027","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7683965/2026/10/12/liv-golf-players-european-tour/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"DP World Tour won't allow LIV Golf players to join in 2027, preventing Ryder Cup eligibility, per report","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/dp-world-tour-liv-golf-2027-ryder-cup-eligibility/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour to refuse LIV players in 2027 season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-refuse-liv-083052503.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour reveals strong stance on LIV Golf players in 2027","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-reveals-strong-091721766.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: DP World Tour to ban LIV Golf players from 2027 events, membership","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-dp-world-tour-ban-112247565.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: DP World Tour will no longer allow LIV players","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-dp-world-tour-no-113507832.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour CEO Blocks LIV Golfers From Membership","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-ceo-blocks-142444804.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour decision delivers another blow to LIV Golf's future","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-decision-delivers-142916417.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kinnings Forces LIV Golfers To Choose Tour Status By November","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kinnings-forces-liv-golfers-choose-144214952.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour officially bans LIV players from competing in 2027","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-officially-bans-150158484.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"European tour says anyone signing with LIV Golf need not apply to play both circuits","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/european-tour-says-anyone-signing-154251541.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DP World Tour will no longer allow LIV Golf players to compete in 2027","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dp-world-tour-no-longer-161819253.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DeChambeau’s DP World Tour Escape Route Slams Shut","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dechambeau-dp-world-tour-escape-200318808.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"DP World Tour forcing players to ‘make a choice’ with LIV Golf at crossroads","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/12/sports/dp-world-tour-forcing-players-to-make-a-choice-with-liv-golf-at-crossroads/"}],"image":{"url":"https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-04-06T210637Z_921340094_MT1USATODAY28670758_RTRMADP_3_PGA-MASTERS-TOURNAMENT-PRACTICE-ROUND-scaled-e1791823582750.jpg?quality=80&w=1024","credit":"Front Office Sports","width":1024},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
