PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Asian Tour form alliance affecting LIV Golf

Summary

On July 21, 2026, the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Asian Tour announced a strategic alliance that could disrupt LIV Golf's existing partnership with the Asian Tour. This alliance, effective immediately through 2029, aims to enhance commercial and playing opportunities for Asian Tour members, marking a return to a relationship that existed prior to 2022. LIV Golf, which had invested $300 million into the Asian Tour, now faces challenges as its financial support from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia ceases after this season. The Asian Tour is expected to co-sanction at least two events annually over the next three years. Additional details regarding player access to other tours will be finalized soon.
