More than 20 players who spent the majority of this year with the LIV Golf League have been included in the field for this week's DP World Tour event - but how?
A total of 26 LIV Golf players are competing at the 2026 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, including 22 full-time members and four reserves. Golfers are utilizing the DP World Tour event to expand playing opportunities, earn tour status, or meet the four-event minimum needed to retain DP World Tour membership amid uncertainty regarding LIV's future after Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The tournament field features 14 LIV players who secured spots through sponsor invitations issued by Richemont chairman Johann Rupert, including Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, who reportedly settled substantial fines to return. Others qualified through various winners' categories, partner tour Order of Merit rankings, or the 2025 Race to Dubai standings.
