PGA Tour DENIES Waivers For First EVER Saudi Backed Rival SERIES..

Welcome back to Sports Craze, today on the channel we are going to discuss details as PGA Tour denies waivers for first event of Saudi-backed rival series + other related news. In a surprising decision by the PGA Tour this week, golfers who sought permission to play in the first LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament have been denied their waiver requests. It is unknown at this time whether any PGA Tour players will risk punishment by going ahead with participation in the event at the Centurion Club in London from June 9-11.

“We have notified those who have applied that their request has been declined in accordance with the PGA TOUR Tournament Regulations. As such, TOUR members are not authorized to participate in the Saudi Golf League’s London event under our Regulations,” said PGA Tour senior vice president Tyler Dennis in a memo to players. “As a membership organization, we believe this decision is in the best interest of the PGA TOUR and its players.” The belief was that the PGA Tour, which must grant permission to its members to play in events outside the PGA Tour itself, would approve the waivers for the first of eight LIV Golf events this year before denying them at a later date when the league moved to North American turf. Instead, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has laid down the law early, denying his membership the ability to participate in the big-money events from the jump. This decision by the PGA Tour is slightly unusual. Many golfers — including Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson — were granted waivers earlier this year to play in the Saudi International, an event on the Asian Tour.
