Players who have signed up to the breakaway LIV Golf Series will still be allowed to take their place in next month's Open, the R&A has announced.

While the PGA Tour has issued bans to all those involved in the Saudi-backed venture after they played in the inaugural event earlier this month, organisers of last week's US Open did not follow suit.
