## Key points

- Westwood doubts LIV’s collapse will benefit the DP World Tour.
- The PGA Tour paid £59m to its European partner last year.
- Prize funds and the tours’ future alliance remain uncertain.

## Summary

Lee Westwood says LIV Golf’s planned closure may leave the DP World Tour in a weaker position, despite the collapse being seen as a boost for the PGA Tour. He fears the US circuit could use its financial support to demand more from its European partner, raising questions about the DP World Tour’s future.

LIV said it would wind down after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund withdrew support and prospective investors abandoned a deal. The tours extended their strategic alliance in July; the PGA Tour paid £59m in annual investment payments last year and offers cards to the DP World Tour’s top 10 eligible finishers. Westwood, currently without a tour, also pointed to limited announced prize funds for 2027 and uncertainty over the partnership from 2028.
