First reported by The Telegraph’s James Corrigan, Wolff’s apparent signing to the Greg Norman led circuit that is funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) follows last week’s news of Brooks Koepka and Abraham Ancer making the move despite a looming PGA Tour ban once they tee it up.

A former amateur star who made a splash by winning on the PGA Tour soon after turning pro, Wolff has struggled since rising to World No.12 in 2020 on the back of two top-five major championship finishes and has been open about his mental health in the period that has seen him drop to 77th on the world rankings.

Wolff, who tied for 40th at this week’s Travelers Championship can be expect a ban to come his way from the PGA Tour after it announced similar punishments for the players taking part in the first event of Norman’s Tour at the Centurion Club outside of London.

The 23-year-old is also likely to be joined in the field by Spanish amateur standout Eugenio Chacarra.

Mentored by Masters winner and current LIV player Sergio Garcia, Chacarra is currently No.2 on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) and many expected him to return to Oklahoma State University, the same college Wolff attended. But despite saying in April he intended to return, the 22-year-old appears to have received an offer too good to refuse.

“In this circuit, they not only wanted legends, but young players with projection, and Greg Norman has noticed me,” Chacarra told Spanish newspaper Marca. “Here the philosophy is that the players start with a contract and that gives security, so it would not surprise me that players continue to come in. There will be people who do not think it is good and there are others who have chosen this option.”

With Wolff and Chacarra expected to start this week in Oregon, along with debutants Koepka, Ancer, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed, there remains one spot as yet unfilled from the tournament start list produced by LIV Golf late last week.
