"I have dreamed of winning on the PGA TOUR and winning majors since I was a little kid," the 25-year-old added. "I love where the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour and their associated tours are headed."

Zalatoris' statement on Thursday joins a growing list of TOUR players pledging their loyalty amid players joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series.

On Tuesday, the TOUR announced a 13-year "operational joint venture partnership" with the DP World Tour, strengthening the existing November 2020 alliance.

As a part of the partnership, the top 10 players on the DP World Tour Rankings at the end of each season will earn PGA TOUR cards, starting in 2023.

Zalatoris is currently No. 1 on those rankings and sits at No. 13 on the Official World Golf Rankings.
