Tour Confidential: DP World Tour fires back at LIV, Kisner calls out Rory

In GOLF's Tour Confidential, writers discuss DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings' decision to ban LIV Golf players starting in 2027 after previously granting conditional releases. The roundtable also analyzes Kevin Kisner's criticism of Rory McIlroy, whom Kisner accused of playing in the DP World India Championship primarily for a reported $10 million appearance fee rather than purely to grow the game internationally.

McIlroy defended taking appearance fees while maintaining a genuine interest in expanding golf globally, a perspective supported by the GOLF panel. The writers also evaluate how the DP World Tour's stance impacts future Ryder Cup eligibility and address player reactions, alongside discussing Will Zalatoris' upcoming spinal surgery and Tiger Woods' potential participation in the 2027 Masters.
