DP World Tour bans LIV Golf players as Chapter 11 bankruptcy clouds league's future

What happened: The DP World Tour said LIV Golf players are no longer welcome, requiring players to choose between the tours. LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey last month. Key numbers: LIV spent an estimated $5 billion to $8 billion between 2021 and 2026. PIF halted funding in April and paid fines until 2025. Why it matters: LIV's future depends on the "LIV 2.0" restructuring plan, but Jon Rahm called its terms unacceptable and said he will not participate. The league has laid off most operational staff and faces a lawsuit from the Premier Golf League.
