Golfers who left the PGA Tour for LIV golf should face consequences if they want to return, 2023 British Open champion Brian Harman said Thursday amid news that the breakaway league will lose its Saudi funding.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) confirmed Thursday it would cease backing LIV after the 2026 season, the announcement coming hours after LIV said it was seeking to secure "long-term financial partners".
