One Day After Announced Alliance, LIV Golfers Fined by DP World Tour

One player who was fined said this 'adds to the many questions this merger has created.'

There is proposed peace between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf.

But that didn’t stop several LIV players who were part of the DP World Tour from getting notice of fines on Wednesday.

Despite the new proposed arrangement that will see the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Public Investment Fund—which bankrolls LIV Golf—become partners, those players who left the DP World Tour to compete for LIV Golf are still subject to sanctions.

"More fines arrived today for several players relating to Australia, Singapore and Tulsa from the DP World Tour," one LIV player who asked not to be identified told Sports Illustrated. "Suggests Europe will not be changing any of their stance on LIV anytime soon and adds to the many questions this merger has created."

Another LIV player who resigned his membership also said he was fined. "I honestly don’t know how you can fine someone who is no longer a member," the player said.

The fines were £75,000 per event and also come with a one-week DP World Tour suspension per event—which in theory would play out if and when of these players attempt to go back to playing the DP World Tour. LIV Golf will pay the fines for its players.

In April, a U.K.-based arbitration panel ruled in favor of the DP World Tour, saying the organization had a right to impose sanctions, including fines and suspensions, for players who are in violation of conflicting events regulations.

The events in question are for the LIV Adelaide, LIV Singapore and LIV Tulsa tournaments that took place in April and May. LIV Golf has since played a tournament outside of Washington, D.C., and goes to Spain and London in early July.
