Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson and 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson are participating in the inaugural event on the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
, “Mickelson said he still plans to play in the majors, but didn’t say whether he would compete in PGA Tour events.”
“I realize people have strong points of view and think perhaps there should be some morality clause,” Mike Whan, the CEO of the USGA, said. “As I said to our team last night, with more than 9,300 entrants for the U.S. Open, if we decide what’s on their sleeve or their bag or what tour they’re playing, what we think is OK and not OK, I’m not sure that circle ever stops. We don’t track personal beliefs and who funds them. It doesn’t mean we don’t care.
“Rather, it is simply a response to whether or not the USGA views playing in an alternative event, without the consent of their home tour, an offense that should disqualify them for the US Open.”
