Scottie Scheffler Opposes Seamless Return: LIV Golf Defectors Should Face Penalties

Scottie Scheffler has voiced his opposition to LIV Golf members returning to the PGA Tour without any consequences. The world No.1 suggests that any merger between the tours should include a pathway back for defectors but with penalties. He points out the various levels of defections over the past two years and emphasizes the need for a nuanced approach.

Scheffler along with players like Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas believes returning players should contribute to the PGA Tour and not rejoin as if nothing happened. The PGA Tour is currently in talks with LIV Golf over a potential merger and Scheffler’s views align with those who remained loyal to the PGA Tour during the defections. If a deal is not reached the future of golf reunification remains uncertain.
