Can't wait for the 'can't have your cake and eat it' guys declaring these players should be nowhere near the event....
Oh hang on, it's just the Dunhill on the DP World tour, so it doesn't matter... ;-)
I'm seen it is the sponsor that wants them there.Interesting...

Which in my opinion could be a big thing going forward, sponsors pay a lot of money for these tournaments and obviously want to see a return on their investment.
If it was your money, you would want the best players there, regardless of tour.
It’s starts to get a bit messy. Which sponsors want them in? Who do those sponsors deal with commercially, and where is their biggest growth potential? Have LIV leveraged the sponsors, elbow up the back, with threats of losing business?
I’m all for sponsors invites but not a backdoor way of forcing non-DP Tour players into comps and excluding DP players who’ve stayed loyal to the tour.
Interesting that these are some of the low profile liv golfers. A gently, gently approach?

Tour loyalty is a myth that has been pushed by the tours since last year. Players have always gone to where their opportunities are greatest or the culture & schedule suits. As such, very few outside the PGAT/KFT and JGTO have ever remained on their domestic tour given the opportunity at greater prize money elsewhere. If it weren't for RC eligibility, most top European players wouldn't still be members of the ET at all.
Also, the DL has always had a sprinkling of non-ET members (as have many other ET events). I don't remember anyone complaining about them taking spots from (non-exempt) members before.

At the moment it could be looked at a little bit differently because of the event it is and it’s make up - sponsers have a big say in regards which players can play so I don’t think it will be the start of ways to bring in players through the back door
Obviously over the years there have been sponsers invites for certain players - mainly local pros etc and then the likes of Woods etc but I wouldn’t expect the likes of Westwood and Co getting a sponser invite

Tournament organising committee could have just said no thats not possible.

Very interesting that the PGA Tour put out a statement that they are also looking at outside investment as well as continuing to strike a deal with the PIF
Great timing on the eve of the biggest golf event in the world so it goes under the radar
""Our focus continues to be on finalizing an agreement with the Public Investment Fund and the DP World Tour, however, our negotiations have resulted in unsolicited interest from other investors," PGA said in a statement on Wednesday."

Or more correctly, other outside investors are looking at the PGAT.

The PGA are obviously doing everything they can to avoid taking the Saudi money - even though the damage is already done to their moralistic stance they wanted to use to defend their position.
Bottom line - the money wins, so whoever offers the most of it will be partnering the PGA Tour - We'll just have to wait and see who that turns out to be..

Great start for Europe in the Ryder Cup. 
If and its a big IF the USA get soundly beaten the inevitable questions of whether DJ and Bryson should have been picked as picks will be asked.
Q: Would you rather play rookie Sam Burns or an in form Bryson or an experienced Ryder Cupper DJ ??

Oh how the LIV defectors are weeping into their Saudi blood money.
And looks to have cost Team USA at the same time.
