The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) has announced that LIV golfers will not be banned from competing at the upcoming British Open at Royal Liverpool. This decision comes after much speculation that the golfers would be prohibited from competing due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
The British Open is one of golf\u2019s four major championships and is set to take place July 16-19. It is the oldest of the four major championships, having been first played in 1860.<\/p>\n
The decision to allow LIV golfers to compete at the British Open was made after consultation with the UK government and the local health authority. The R&A said that the safety of players, staff, and spectators was the top priority in making the decision.<\/p>\n
The R&A also noted that all players, caddies, and staff will be required to follow strict health and safety protocols. This includes regular testing for COVID-19, wearing face coverings, and maintaining social distancing.<\/p>\n
This decision is welcome news for LIV golfers who were worried that they would be excluded from competing at the prestigious event. It is also a sign of the progress being made in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
The British Open is one of the most prestigious events in golf and the fact that LIV golfers will be able to compete is a testament to the R&A\u2019s commitment to ensuring the safety of all involved.
