The PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Asian Tour announce a strategic alliance that reorganizes relationships in professional golf and ends the Asian Tour’s involvement with LIV Golf. Multiple outlets report that the Asian Tour cuts ties with LIV and realigns with the established tours through a partnership with the PGA Tour and Europe, structured to run until at least 2029. The agreement is presented as a way to expand playing opportunities and strengthen pathways for golfers in Asia, according to details referenced across the reports.
The announcement also includes cooperation between the Asian Tour and the DP World Tour. The European circuit will resume co-sanctioning selected events with the Asian Tour beginning in 2027, with the specific tournaments expected to be identified later in the year. Taken together, the changes are described as a potential setback for LIV Golf because the Asian Tour’s exit removes a LIV-adjacent platform from its global footprint. The outlets frame the development as part of a broader shake-up in golf’s competitive landscape, affecting how players can access events and progression routes.
