Those who preside over the US Open have suggested golfers who have signed up for the rebel LIV Golf Series could be banned for future stagings of this major tournament.
The former US Open champions Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer and Bryson DeChambeau are among those who have been banned by the PGA Tour after committing to the Saudi Arabia‑backed breakaway. The subject has dominated discussion in the lead-up to the third men’s major of the year, at the Country Club in Brookline. The PGA Tour has no direct power over the US Open but relationships within golf’s ecosystem are strong.
