LIV Golf is set to strike a double blow to the PGA Tour with two more players expected to follow Ryder Cup star Thomas Pieters in joining the Saudi-funded venture.
It has already been widely reported that the Belgian star, a member of the DP World Tour, is set to be unveiled by Greg Norman on Monday. That's despite the 31-year-old being in contention to play for Team Europe in Rome in September, having recorded four points as a rookie in the 2016 event.
However, he was left irate at not being included in the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles this week, one of the PGA Tour's 'elevated' events. Reacting to the news, he tweeted: "Sad to miss my favourite tournament of the year. Because well as #34 in the world, I just couldn’t get in."
