The PGA Tour is not considering a program for LIV Golf players to return to the US-based circuit.

Speaking one week after LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection ‌in New Jersey, PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp said accountability and discipline were elements for any sports league.

Five-time champion Koepka ‌took advantage of a limited-time ‌returning member program in January to rejoin the PGA Tour after leaving LIV ‌Golf last December.

Koepka's return came at a cost, with the former world number one facing a five-year forfeiture of potential ‌equity in the PGA Tour's Player ⁠Equity Program, representing an estimated $US50-85 million loss depending on his performance and tour growth.

The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia owns 100 per cent of LIV Golf's equity, according to its bankruptcy petition.
