SOUTHERN PINES, NC – On the heels of the announcement that the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV Golf Invitational Series’ first event will include several PGA Tour players, USGA chief championships officer John Bodenhamer said Wednesday at the US Women’s Open that although the USGA ” prides themselves on the openness of their tournament, “they will also make their own decision about the eligibility of players at the upcoming US Open in Brookline, Massachusetts, on June 13 on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n
“That openness goes back to the very beginning for us,” Bodenhamer told ESPN. “That aside, we would always keep it in a place where we can make our own decision about what we might do based on what the facts are.”<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night, a list of players participating in LIV’s first event in London at the Centurion Club on June 9-11 was released. That list included six major winners: Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Graeme McDowell. The list also included Lee Westwood and 30-year-old Talor Gooch, among others.<\/p>\n
