Westwood worried for DP World Tour after LIV collapse

Lee Westwood is worried about the future of the Europe-based DP World Tour following the collapse of LIV Golf.

The 53-year-old Englishman was among the high-profile players lured to LIV when the controversial Saudi-backed breakaway tour began in 2022.

LIV this week confirmed its intention to wind down operations after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew its financial support and potential new investors pulled out of a deal to back LIV continuing in a new form.

LIV's collapse is a boost for the USA's PGA Tour and Westwood's former Ryder Cup team-mate Rory McIlroy agrees with DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings' assertion that LIV aimed to "destroy" their European rivals.
