Here's what it might be like if a LIV Golfer rejoined the PGA Tour

The overwhelming expectation ahead of The Masters is that there is going to be plenty of tension on the links as PGA Tour and LIV Golf players break bread for the first time this season. So what might happen if the reunion ended up being permanent?

It's a fair question. The focus for the better part of a year has been on players defecting from the PGA Tour to join Greg Norman's Saudi Arabia-funded breakaway circuit. 

But with LIV Golf not meeting expectations at just the start of its sophomore season, it's a good time to start wondering what it would be like if layers wanted to rejoin the PGA.

So, how would the PGA pros feel about that?

Max Homa recently discussed his feelings ahead of last weekend's Players Championship, admitting that through some frustration he would be happy to see some players return.

"I think my petty side would be a little bit annoyed, but also kind of smiling underneath thinking, okay, welcome, welcome back to what you could have just been doing," Homa told Golf Monthly. "But I think my unselfish side and my realistic side is that all of those guys that you can name that left are great for golf. Champion golfers, interesting golfers, so many great stories across their careers. So of course I think if I could put my selfish part aside and maybe put on my big-boy hat, I would realize that having them back would be a good thing for golf at large."

If there is one PGA pro who would be happy about LIV Golfers returning, it's probably Keegan Bradley.

"A bunch of my friends have gone to LIV recently," Bradley told the Drop Zone golf podcast. "Brendan Steele is one of my closest friends in the entire world. He was in my wedding, we play every Tuesday together, every dinner on the road, our families are friends - and then overnight he’s gone."

Of course, there hasn't been any indication that any LIV Golfers want to return to the PGA Tour, at least not now. So it's unclear if more golfers would be welcoming like Homa or throw shade like Scottie Scheffler did Cam Smith before the Australian defected.
