Former world No. 1 Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau became the latest high-profile players to commit to the PGA Tour on Sunday, as the American-based circuit faces the threat of a rival Saudi-funded breakaway league.

Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson has said that top players have been contacted about joining a proposed Super Golf League (SGL) and that the threat of it happening had improved their earning potential on the PGA Tour.

Players who sign up for the breakaway competition, however, face potential bans from the PGA Tour, the European-based DP World Tour, as well as the Ryder Cup.
