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.
That stance will be followed at the year’s final major, when the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews gets underway in three weeks’ time.
