Adam Scott is a consummate professional in every sense.
When numerous big-name players who were on the wrong side of 40 left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf four years ago, Scott was tipped to follow them.

After Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, and Sergio Garcia all jumped ship from the PGA Tour, the spotlight was shining brightly on Adam Scott.
However, Scott didn’t budge. He remained loyal to the PGA Tour and, by doing so, cemented his legacy as one of the game’s greatest golfers, but he also ensured he will end up on the right side of history.
Now the Australian is adamant that those who played on LIV Golf should not be given a straightforward route back to the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.

It was announced on Thursday that LIV Golf had officially folded as a business.
LIV made some players wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, but the money they received obviously did not come without risk or consequence.
Ben Parsons of Today’s Golfer asked Scott what he believes should happen now with the players who have just left LIV Golf.
“I mean, I think the fairest thing is that they all re-establish themselves in the system that they want to go to, whether that’s DP World or the PGA Tour, they left and gave up those privileges,“ the 46-year-old replied.
“So, you know, I think they should re-qualify themselves ideally. That’s how I would see it. I think that seems logical and sensible.“
Scott was then asked whether he thinks it’s a good thing that the best players in the world could soon be back playing together again.
“Hopefully that’s the case, yeah,“ the Australian replied.
“I mean, I think what we’ve seen with it all is, there’s probably enough events, and we have to find the right balance that everyone is kind of satisfied with guys being together enough, but there’s still enough interest and pathways and creating new talent and all this.
“And I think, you know, I think the last few years have shown us we all need to work towards making this, you know, a healthy sport and something that people get excited for.“
