He is able to play due to a category that allows home players to play who are not otherwise exempt regardless of what tour they are on

Yes I know.
But in the early days when Pelly was around eligibility didn't seem to count for much.

Isn't the situation that if they remain members of the DPWT, and pay their fines they remain eligible for DPWT sanctioned events - that includes the Ryder Cup.
With any PIF/PGAT appearing to be breaking down, there still remains some huge opportunities for the DPWT.

The category has always been there and tbh not sure what Pelly has to do with it
The European players - some gave up their membership , some stayed members and will pay fines to allow them to play in DP events and Ryder Cup
Hence why Rahm etc haven’t given up their membership and why some players who have played on LIV have also come back to play on DP
Pieters gave up his membership but still able to play in his home open

Why are they doing their team championship in the US , why not in Europe or in Aus ?
The US is the biggest market in golf but it’s one that’s already dominated by PGAT
It’s one of the main issues LIV has to make their tour sustainable

Old news Phil...
The courses that will be revisited again are Valderamma, Adelaide, Singapore, Greenbrier - and Miami - which is next up - it was the team championship event last year - I believe that will be in Dallas this year although it's not been announced yet.

Commercial sports channels aren’t the future of watching sport For 3 years almost all of my PGAT and DPWT viewing was via the 'PGAT app', but they ended it in November 2022 😐 As it happened something else had come along to watch....

As for the reason why it's in the US, who knows for sure, but this has been in the pipeline for some time - so it's not a time-pressured reaction to finding a course.
Maybe they way they see it going forward is the defending team champions get to host the finals - and as Crushers GC are the current champions and Bryson is very much a Dallas guy - that would make sense.
Hopefully that is the case, as the series evolves into each team having a home course - it would definitely add some local interest to have the holding team playing infront of their 'home fans'

I think you will see Liv really lean into Bryson now as he has become their most marketable asset with his increased popularity...

I agree with Padraig.
Having 2 strong tours isn't necessarily a bad thing but there has to be some cross over somehow.

Looks like we're getting closer to seeing how men's pro golf looks moving forward. 2026 seems to have been mentioned frequently as to when we'll see things coming in line.

You’ve got to try it when you’re there.I wouldn’t have wanted to
I’ve got it with 4 iron a couple of times.
