Players who have joined LIV Golf will not be barred from competing in next year’s Masters, tournament organisers have announced.

The PGA Tour has suspended members who have competed in the Saudi-funded breakaway without permission, while the DP World Tour fined players £100,000 and banned them from the Genesis Scottish Open, but saw that temporarily stayed on appeal.
