LIV rebels in heated exchange with DP World Tour chief ahead of BMW PGA Championship

Ahead of this week's BMW PGA Championship, LIV Golf rebels making a return to the DP World Tour have been involved in a tense meeting with chief executive Keith Pelley, according to reports. 18 of LIV's players will make a controversial comeback to the Wentworth event, including European stalwarts Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter.

Ahead of the Tour's flagship event in Surrey, the LIV players were involved in a meeting with the CEO in which the defectors put Pelley to the sword regarding their future. Members of the Saudi-backed series were competing in Boston until the early hours of Monday morning UK time, before LIV bosses chartered a plane for those competing to Wentworth to make the meeting in time.

In the midst of golf's ongoing civil war, the DP World Tour issued suspensions and £100,000 fines to those players who decided to defect earlier this summer.
