LIV Golf players prohibited from 2024 Presidents Cup qualification process

Since its inception, LIV Golf has staged events worldwide, desiring to become the premier international golf circuit for the best players in the world.

But LIV golfers will not be eligible for the 2024 Presidents Cup, which will pit the United States against the best International players not from Europe.

That means no Cameron Smith of Australia or Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa.

Americans Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, and Bryson DeChambeau are also ineligible.

All players who wish to compete in the 2024 Presidents Cup must be eligible to compete in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event, per Tuesday’s announcement of the qualification process.

That could all change in the coming months, as the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF)—the beneficiary for LIV Golf—are negotiating how professional golf will look in the future.

Should these three bodies come to an agreement, then perhaps LIV golfers will become eligible for PGA Tour events, meaning they gain access to the Presidents Cup.

For now, that is not the case.

Any player on the Saudi-backed circuit remains suspended by the PGA Tour.

Alas, here is the full qualification process for the 2024 Presidents Cup, which will be held at Royal Montreal Golf Club from Sept. 24-29, 2024.
