Lee Westwood has raised concerns over the future of the DP World Tour ahead of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, scheduled to take place from January 18 to 22.Westwood believes that LIV Golf players should be allowed to compete on the DP Tour or the Tour's future will be jeopardized. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostLee Westwood, who has been playing in the competition for the past 30 years, said:"I’m not sure where the Tour is now. If you’d have told me that I’d be playing in a $9m tournament on Tour, I’d struggle to believe you, but then if you told me there’d only be one member of the world’s top 20 in the field, I’d think you were mad."Shane Lowry is the only golfer ranked in the top 20 who is playing on the Dubai Field. Lee Westwood went on to say:"No disrespect to whoever he is but the 15th highest-ranked player on the Challenge Tour has got in this week. And this is a short field, as is next week, which is another $9m event. I’ve never known it go down so far, even when it was nowhere near this money."Lee Westwood finds it unnecessary to restrict players like him from playing at DP World Tour pro-am events. He said:“Why not let us play in the pro-am at Wentworth and here this week? Why would you not have, for instance, me and Poults playing at Wentworth."The ongoing battle between the DP Tour and LIV Golf has raised many eyebrows as most of the top-rated players have joined the Saudi-backed series. Although a few LIV golfers are allowed to compete on the DP Tour, it's only until the hearing of the sporting arbitration is scheduled for February.2023 Abu Dhabi Championship field including Lee Westwood View this post on Instagram Instagram PostGeorge CoetzeeDaan HuizingMaximilian KiefferRichard MansellEdoardo MolinariAndy SullivanVictor DubuissonRoss FisherRyan FoxTyrrell HattonSepp StrakaLee WestwoodJamie DonaldsonDavid LawThriston LawrenceAdrian MeronkFrancesco MolinariPatrick ReedAlexander BjörkRafa Cabrera BelloPadraig HarringtonMarcus KinhultJordan SmithBernd WiesbergerAdri ArnausNicolas ColsaertsJulien GuerrierDaniel HillierNicolai HøjgaardAlexander LevyThomas BjørnDan BradburyGrant ForrestJacques KruyswijkMikael LindbergThorbjørn Olesen Julien BrunSean CrockerCalum HillVictor PerezMatt WallaceJeff WintherJens DantorpIgnacio Elvira MijaresAlexander KnappePablo LarrazabalEddie PepperellOckie StrydomRichard BlandGavin Kyle GreenJoakim LagergrenYanwei LiuMarc WarrenHennie du PlessisJeremy FreiburghausJustin HardingEl Mehdi FakoriLukas NemeczDale WhitnellDarius van DrielAaron CockerillOliver HundebøllScott JamiesonMatthew JordanEspen KofstadFreddy SchottWil BesselingJorge CampilloJohn CatlinMasahiro KawamuraZander LombardGuido MigliozziTommy FleetwoodShane LowryThomas PietersTapio PulkkanenShubhankar Sharma TMatthew SouthgateMikko KorhonenRobert MacIntyreAlex NorenMatthieu PavonIan PoulterSeamus PowerLuke DonaldSøren KjeldsenYannik PaulAntoine RoznerHenrik StensonPaul WaringMarcus ArmitageEwen FergusonMin Woo LeeAdrian OtaeguiCallum ShinkwinConnor SymeSam HorsfieldRichie RamsayJason ScrivenerSami ValimakiJeung-Hun WangAshun WuHaotong LiJames MorrisonKalle SamoojaSantiago TarrioOliver WilsonFabrizio ZanottiOliver BekkerNathan KimseyJoost LuitenJC RitchieSebastian SoderbergJohannes VeermanChase HannaAngel HidalgoJazz JanewattananondHurly LongMarcel SchneiderNicolai Von DellingshausenIssa Abou El ElaLouis De JagerDaniel GavinsMarcus HelligkildeTom McKibbinNiklas Nørgaard
