The DP World Tour has declined a request from members of the LIV Golf Invitational Series to rescind their fines and permit their participation in the Scottish Open next week.

The field for the Scottish Open was released on Friday evening, and no golfers linked to the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV circuit appeared on the list.

LIV players were banned from three upcoming DP World Tour events and fined £100,000 ($120,996) after playing in the LIV's debut event outside London.

In a letter to the DP World Tour, 16 players asked for resolution by "5:00 p.m. on Friday" and demanded the bans and fans were rescinded.
