The DP World Tour will not allow LIV Golf players to compete at its events in the 2027 season.

Tyrrell Hatton is one player who has been able to play on the DP World Tour and LIV Golf circuit

The DP World Tour will not allow any player who signs up to LIV Golf next season to be a member of its circuit in 2027.

The European tour says players must "make a choice" regarding where they play and has taken a significantly tougher stance than it has done in recent seasons.

Players must be members of the DP World Tour to be able to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup.

Deadlines for both tours are in the next five weeks, although there remains uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf's future, despite it securing a possible $300m in funding as it attempts to restructure.

"Players need to make a choice," Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, said.

"We have rules and regulations which are there to protect our tour and which our members must all abide by.
