(Christian Kolbert/dpa via AP) (Christian Kolbert)MUNICH — (AP) — The European tour banned golfers who competed in the Saudi-backed breakaway LIV series from three upcoming tournaments, including the Scottish Open, on Friday and fined them $120,000. All three of those events are co-sanctioned by the European tour and the PGA, which has suspended players who competed in LIV. There could be “further sanctions" if the players continue to compete in LIV without authorization, the European tour said. Some of the European tour’s best-known players were on course Friday at the BMW International Open, including major winners Louis Oosthuizen, Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.
