The DP World Tour has won its legal battle to be able to suspend and fine LIV Golf players who featured in conflicting events without permission after the independent UK-based panel of Sports Resolutions found in its favour on Thursday.
Members of the DP World Tour, also known as the European Tour, who played in Saudi-backed LIV Golf's opening tournament last June sought a "conflicting event" exemption but the request was denied and they received three-event bans and fines.
"I was going to look at that and deal with all that after this week. My main focus this week is on this tournament," said Reed, who opened his Masters account with a 71. "Once tournament week starts, especially majors, I don't look at anything, read anything.Ian Poulter, Adrian Otaegui and Justin Harding appealed against the decision and the punishments were put on hold pending an appeal, which allowed LIV players to continue competing on the DP World Tour without penalty.
"The appeals were dismissed and each of the Appellants were ordered to pay the fine of 100,000 pounds originally imposed by ," it added. Matthew Schwartz, counsel to LIV Golf, said the procedural opinion of DP World Tour's arbitration body had failed to reasonably address why "competitive forces must be upheld".
