PGA Welcomes LIV Golfers to US Ryder Cup Team.

The PGA of America has announced that golfers from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour will be eligible to join the United States Ryder Cup team.

In an exciting development, LIV players can now compete in the prestigious PGA Championship. 

The PGA of America has officially recognized LIV Golf as one of its "approved tours," granting its players membership and eligibility for the Ryder Cup.

This means that any American golfer who qualifies for the Ryder Cup—whether through points or as a captain's pick—can now join the team, regardless of their LIV affiliation. 

The PGA stated, "Going forward, all LIV Golf players are eligible for the PGA Championship, opening up new opportunities for competition at the highest level." 

This move signals a significant shift in the landscape of professional golf, creating a more inclusive environment for players from different tours.
