LIV Golf's Australian players will be allowed to play in DP World Tour events in their homeland.
Amid the ongoing civil war with LIV Golf, the PGA Tour has banned any player who has made the move to the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit since its inception.
A hearing in February will also be held to determine whether the DP World Tour can ban any LIV Golf rebel players from its events.
But the likes of Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman will be welcomed with open arms to compete in the upcoming Australian PGA Championship and Australian Open in the next month - both co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour.
"Our Australian players who are playing LIV golf, we respect their decision," PGA of Australia chief executive Gavin Kirkman said.
"Both the tours have made their decisions on sanctions or penalties, but our current regulations and policies for our members are about playing in a conflicting event.
“Our position is they were always going to be welcomed home. If they’re a full member of the PGA Tour of Australasia, and they enter in an event, our current regulations deem that we can’t stop them from playing."
Kirkman also confirmed he had held talks with LIV CEO Greg Norman about a potential link-up but has pledged allegiance to the Tours.
"We did initially talk to LIV Golf but we haven’t had any in the last six to 12 months. Greg was very open with his plan and he was respectful in that discussion,” Kirkman said.
“My job with the PGA of Australia and our tour is to create player pathways which is why we’ve got our strategic alliance with DP World Tour to the PGA Tour; our board is confident we’ve made a decision in the best interest of our membership.”
