What are PGA Tour players saying about the LIV shutting down rumors?

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — For five years now, PGA Tour golfers have had to take questions about LIV Golf. What do they think? Have they considered joining? Should LIV golfers play in the majors? And now: What do you think if the rumors of LIV Golf's demise come to fruition?

As LIV heads to Mexico City of its sixth event of the season, the PGA Tour's is staging its 15th tournament of the year at the 2026 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

This is a signature event which means its 82-man field has many of the Tour's big names. In the field is 2026 Genesis Invitational winner Jacob Bridgeman, who happened to be first up in the RBC media center after the rumors surfaced.

Jacob Bridgeman plays a shot on the second hole during a practice round ahead of the 2026 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.

"I haven't heard really much about it. Look, Brooks [Koepka] was welcomed back, and it's been great for our Tour. Any more eyeballs we can get, I think it's great, and Brooks has been playing some great golf. He's earned it. He's a major champion, I think, five times," Bridgeman said. "If they're able to come back and promote our Tour, then great, and if they're not, then it's not really going to change my day-to-day."

Bridgeman sounded like a player keeping his head down and eyes focused on his own game but chances are he shares this sentiment with others.

"I'm going to play the golf that I play on this tour and have fun doing it, and if some guys that haven't been here for a few years come back over, then good for them, and if not, then it doesn't really matter to me."

Max Homa, also in the RBC field, told Golfweek, "Everyone deserves a place to play golf so it would be ridiculous to not allow them a place to play. I just heard that rumor an hour-and-a-half ago so it would be a hard one for me to digest at this moment, which is why I am not Brian Rolapp. I don't know, I guess we got to find out if the rumor is even true. We've heard a lot of untrue ones in the last three years."

Sergio Garcia and his Fireballs teammates held a pre-tournament news conference in Mexico City early Wednesday morning. The team captain was the only one to be asked about the continued saga.

"No, honestly, we haven't heard anything other than what Yasir [Al-Rumayyan] already told us at the beginning of the year, that he is behind us," Garcia said in Mexico City on Wednesday, April 15. "And well, honestly, you know how these rumors are. There are always a lot of them and I can’t tell you anything more than what we already know."

Al-Rumayyan runs the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund which finances LIV Golf.
