LONDON : A pivotal hearing to determine the futures of LIV Golf players on the DP World Tour kicked off on Monday at the Sports Resolutions Arbitration and Media Centre in London.An independent, three-member panel is overseeing the five-day arbitration hearing, which is not open to the public, will shape DP World Tour fields when a decision is released.The hearing centres around the DP World Tour's conflicting release regulations and its ability to enforce those rules upon members who chose to compete in LIV Golf events.DP World Tour media officer Scott Crockett, in a briefing with reporters two weeks ago, said the panel would deliver their verdict "several weeks" after the hearing has taken place."Will we appeal if we lose?
