In a candid revelation that has sent ripples through the golf world, LIV Golf's Thomas Pieters made it clear: if the Saudi-backed league folds, he's hanging up his clubs for good—and he has zero interest in returning to the PGA Tour.

The Belgian star, who joined LIV in 2023 and now plays for Dustin Johnson's 4Aces, opened up on the Dan on Golf Show about the tense atmosphere surrounding the league's uncertain future. "I was ready to retire on Monday if they really pull the plug that quick, and that was OK with me," Pieters shared. "The atmosphere was really grim. I had enough of it after 3-4 hours, everybody talking about it."

While reports have surfaced that several LIV players have quietly reached out to the PGA Tour about a potential return, Pieters is taking a firm stance. "I'm definitely never going back to the PGA Tour," he said. "I've never liked that life. And that's not me having a go at the PGA Tour, it's not for me. I tried it and I just wasn't happy there."

For Pieters, the alternative is simple: if LIV disappears after this season, he'll look to the European Tour—or step away entirely. "If (LIV) goes away, I'll probably try and play some on the European Tour or I don't know. I really don't know."

The timing of his comments is notable. LIV Golf has been making strategic moves to secure its future beyond 2026, when funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is set to end. Meanwhile, a player meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at Trump National outside Washington D.C., with CEO Scott O'Neil expected to address the media.

For now, Pieters is focused on the present: "I feel like I still have a duty to focus on these next six, seven tournaments on LIV and then we'll see. They're obviously trying to get it together next year. We'll see."

As the golf world watches the LIV-PGA saga unfold, one thing is certain: Pieters isn't hedging his bets. Whether he's in or out, he's made his choice—and it's a bold one.
