DP World Tour to offer $150,000 guarantee to ward off LIV Golf threat

DP World Tour players will earn a guaranteed $150,000 next year as the European Tour aims to ward off the threat posed by LIV Golf.

Players will be eligible for the money provided they play a minimum of 15 events next year. Back in August, the PGA Tour announced a similar initiative with players earning a minimum of $500,000 from next season.

The moves have been made in response to the threat posed by LIV Golf. Players were guaranteed a minimum of $120,000 per LIV event this year. The Saudi backed series has pumped money into the sport, with Dustin Johnson for example earning a staggering $32 million, and has poached players from both the European Tour and PGA Tour.
