And that's certainly what I've been going through in my mind is what are the ramifications?

Because each individual player now faces a very different situation.

scenarios they look forward potentially beyond the next six months and and if indeed live is to finish at the year end or even look completely different next year as to not be a valuable or seen as a desirable place to play golf what do their futures look like i think that's quite interesting

I think there's only so much welcoming back that can be done, actually.

I was looking last night at the exemption list on the DP World Tour, and I think there are currently seven or eight players who have some kind of exemption on the DP World Tour this year.

Who are playing on live.

Who are playing on live but could play on the Deep World Tour if they choose this year.

But a lot of them are going to run out this year.

And in some way or another, they're going to run out by year end, I think, even as it pertains to performance because of some of the changes that are coming on the Deep World Tour.

So...

I think that they're all going to need to play quite a bit of golf from this point through to the end of the season on the DP World Tour if they want to secure or guarantee themselves playing opportunities in 2027.

And there are a number of players that are not going to have access.

Thomas Peters is a good example.

Sam Horsfield, the aforementioned Sam Horsfield, my lookalike.

He has no category.

He has no way of playing golf on the DP World Tour outside of an invite.

And it's difficult to see how he's going to be getting invites into any tournament.

So,

um there are a lot of players wacky neiman he's got nowhere to play golf if live finishes at the end of this year so you know what do they what does wacky neiman do i mean it's very foreseeable that he's going to have to go to q school um second stage q school on the dpo tour and he's of course not going to be eligible to plan the pga tour for another year beyond his last live appearance so this is the other thing they've got to consider

I think it could, but I think they're going to start to quickly realise, as DP will talk...
