'Many inaccuracies': DP World Tour chief hits back at LIV Golf players over legal threat

thenationalnews.com

DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley has issued a scathing response to the LIV Golf players who threatened legal action against the tour if their bans and fines were not removed.

DP World Tour members including Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood were each fined £100,000 ($120,000) and banned from next week's Scottish Open and two other events co-sanctioned with the PGA Tour.

The punishment came after they played in the opening event of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series earlier this month, despite being refused permission by the DP World Tour.

Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau are among the US-based players who have signed up for the LIV Golf events.
