The mess continues.

As part of the stratedic alliance between the PGA Tour (CEO Jay Monahan left) and DP World Tour (CEO Keith Pelley right) playing rights on each tour will be awarded to players from the other.

Any DP World Tour player not otherwise exempt finishing in the top 10 will be offered PGA Tour membership.

The players outside the top 125 on the PGA Tour, losing their cards next year places 126-200 will be offered a new category of membership on the DP World Tour.

If they play four or more tournaments outside the majors can qualify for the DP World Rour playoffs.

Tour pro Eddie Pepperell said on a podcast this week” I personally think it’s a disaster for the DP World Tour.

“I can’t think of any good business that tries to not retain its ‘clients’ if you like. Just give the best ones away. That makes no sense to me.

“But from the players’ perspective, who all have frankly ambitions to play on the biggest stage, which now clearly is the PGA Tour, it’s good for them.

“To me it doesn’t seem sustainable that the Tour can continue to operate successfully while giving away its best players. I’m afraid I don’t like it at all.”
