"Rory McIlroy believes LIV Golf no longer poses the threat it once did to the traditional tours, saying that its Saudi paymasters will now have to spend "hundreds of millions" just to ensure it does not fall even further behind in the game's civil war."
"Brooks Koepka will tee it up on the PGA Tour again in two week's time, less than a month after quitting LIV with a year remaining on his contract. It will be a staggeringly quick return, with the Tour welcoming back the five-time major winner into its fold, albeit with a $5m (£3.7m) fine and a few playing restrictions."
LIV Golf has declined as a threat to the established tours, and its Saudi paymasters will now face the need to spend hundreds of millions to prevent the rival circuit from falling further behind in the game's internal conflict. Brooks Koepka will rejoin the PGA Tour in two weeks, having quit LIV less than a month earlier while still holding a year on his contract. The rapid return brings the five-time major winner back under the PGA Tour umbrella but carries consequences: a $5m (£3.7m) fine and several playing restrictions imposed by the tour.
