Laurie Canter didn’t win the South African Open on Sunday, but his playoff defeat comes with a pretty significant consolation prize: a spot in the Players Championship and the possibility of one in the Masters, too.
The Englishman will become the first player who competed on LIV Golf to play in a PGA Tour event (one that is not co-sanctioned) if he takes up his spot that is available to anyone who is among the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking as of Monday.
