Tour pro explains what "doesn't make sense" to him about LIV Golf players

Dutch professional golfer Joost Luiten reckons LIV Golf League players can't have the best of both worlds. 

The 37-year-old six-time European Tour winner was the latest guest on our podcast From The Tips. 

Luiten spoke to our Andy Roberts and Harry Benjamin about a number of topics. Chief of which is the continued disruption of LIV Golf. 

Luiten told GolfMagic there was a lot of locker room chatter before the breakaway tour kicked off their inaugural series in June 2022. 

But now? Not so much. He believes we should all just get on with life. 

That doesn't mean LIV players should still get to play DP World Tour events, according to Luiten. 

He said: "We can't play on their tour, why should they play on our tour?"

So does Luiten care that LIV players are still turning up to DP World Tour events?

He said: 

A decision on the European LIV players' fate was expected shortly after the DP World Tour v. LIV Golf hearing. 

But it has now emerged that a decision which could effectively allow the European-based circuit to ban LIV players has been delayed. 

It will cause even more of a headache for European captain Luke Donald as the process drags on. 

Luiten continued:

Luiten said he had no conversations with LIV. 

He continued: 

Luiten said he thinks playing 14 events a year is 'a bit on the low side'. He enjoys playing too much to have a reduced schedule.
