“I’ve never liked that life. And that’s not me having a go at the PGA Tour, it’s not for me.

“I tried it and I just wasn’t happy there. If it (LIV) goes away, I’ll probably try and play some on the European Tour or I don’t know. I really don’t know.

“I’m not fussed about it at this point because I feel like I still have a duty to focus on these next six, seven tournaments on LIV and then we’ll see. They’re obviously trying to get it together next year. We’ll see.”

What Scott O’Neil has told the players about LIV Golf’s future

It seems as though LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil has been very transparent with the players about what the future may hold.

“We got paid. We are getting paid. It was a week late. Some got it early, some got it a week late, but I’m not sure these guys check their bank accounts every two seconds,“ Pieters admitted.

“I think whatever comes out officially from LIV is what we’re getting half a day before it goes out. Scott is telling us that he’s going to a broader market and trying to fund this for next year.

“I guess it’s a massive challenge. But we just have to wait and see.

“We are just guessing right now. But if we’re playing for 5 million next year or I could play on the DP World Tour for 3 million but be close to home that’s something I’d have to look at it when it comes.

“Possibly there’s guys going. But I think that’s up to Scott and his team to get this thing together and we’ll just have to find out.”
