The DP World Tour has fined members who played in the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series event £100,000 (€120,000)  apiece and banned them from the upcoming Genesis Scottish Open and two other tournaments.

Players like Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia all joined the Saudi-backed breakaway venture at Hertfordshire earlier this month despite not having received releases to do so.
