The Chipping Forecast
The Craziest Guy on Tour

Yes, and on that, the question I kept being asked was, will these players be welcomed back?

What do you think from a DP World Tour locker room?

But where would Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm play?

The Chipping Forecast
The Craziest Guy on Tour

Because unless they get the returning program like Brooks Koepka did on the PGA Tour, they'd have nowhere else to play, would they?

I suppose DeChambeau could get onto the DP World Tour, but Rahm can't because he's in bad standing now.

He hasn't paid his fines.

I spoke to someone very senior at the tour and said, you know, could you have some kind of relationship?

They were previously a DP World Tour sponsor.

Rolex are still a DP World Tour sponsor, but they're in with Liv now.

as well Valderrama setting up tournaments in various places that have been traditional DP World Tour European Tour bases as well so there has to be some kind of reparation there I suppose the other question is that if Saudi Arabia still wants a footprint in golf and as that article you were talking about Andrew pointed out

that golf could be a very important part of the evolution of Saudi Arabia.

So it does make sense for them to have some kind of involvement in tournament play, although his suggestion was way better, wasn't it, to just design a string of golf courses along unlimited beaches in Saudi Arabia and get the best designers in the world to do that and put all the investment into that rather than tournament play, and you would develop a golf industry.

in Saudi Arabia.
