'All LIV Golf players' eligible for US Ryder Cup team

LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka was part of last year's US Ryder Cup team due to a grace period that allowed him to remain a PGA of America member through 2024, but it was not clear how the body would further handle the divide in professional golf.

"Going forward, all LIV Golf players are eligible for the PGA Championship and any American player who qualifies for the Ryder Cup on points or is added to the US team as a captain's pick is eligible to compete," the PGA of America said.

"This is consistent with LIV Golf players competing in the PGA Championship the past two years. Brooks Koepka was a member of the US Ryder Cup team last year."

The decision clears the way for LIV golfers like reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who is third on the US points list for the 2025 Ryder Cup despite being ineligible for PGA Tour events where the majority of points could be earned.
