Adrian Meronk has confirmed that he will conclude his 2024 season on the DP World Tour after the LIV Golf schedule wraps up.
The Pole joined Saudi-backed circuit earlier this season shortly after finishing runner-up at the Dubai Desert Classic, and has not featured on golf’s Global Circuit since.
But that is all about to change.
Following the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas later this month, Meronk, a Dubai resident, will return to DP World Tour action at the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters, a tournament he won last year.
He will then head back to the UAE for the new DP World Tour Playoffs, which include the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the DP World Tour Championship—both prestigious Rolex Series events.
“After LIV Golf I will be playing some events back on the DP World Tour,” said Meronk, who is currently 23rd in the Race to Dubai Rankings.
“It was great to see Tyrrell Hatton play at The Belfry and there seems to be plenty of noise on both the ranges at LIV Golf and in the media – about more players from both LIV Golf and the PGA Tour playing some end-of-season events on the DP World Tour.
“My schedule is to defend my Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters title at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande at the end of October, before playing the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
“Since I’m a Dubai resident, I’m excited to return to Dubai and the UAE in November to reconnect with all my friends.”
With LIV Golf players that remain a DP World Tour member, as Meronk does, receiving a suspension and fine every time they play a LIV Golf tournament, the four-time DP World Tour winner went on to confirm his management has been in constant contact with both LIV Golf and the DP World Tour to ensure he can play on the Wentworth-based circuit.
Returning to the DP World Tour also provides the 31-year-old with the chance to earn valuable Ryder Cup points, as qualification for Luke Donald’s 2025 team began at the British Masters.
After narrowly missing out on an automatic spot for the 2023 European team, Meronk was controversially overlooked for a Captain's Pick, despite winning twice during the qualification period, including a victory at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club — the venue for last year’s biennial contest.
With that disappointment behind him, Meronk is now focused on securing one of the 12 spots for the European team to face the U.S. at Bethpage next September.
“Regarding the 2025 Ryder Cup – I was obviously disappointed not to make the team last time in Italy – I will continue to play my best and see where it gets me – I am still hugely ambitious as a golfer,” said Meronk.
