Golf's primary tours are anticipating significant interest from players currently under contract with LIV Golf, yet the route back may present substantial obstacles.
Information received by BBC Sport indicates that athletes holding exempt status will be permitted to submit applications to the DP World Tour.
However, the governing body must first evaluate the viability of any new LIV arrangement before finalising its position on these requests.
Current and former players owe at least $45m (£33m) to LIV Golf, with the debt burden falling heavily on a select group of high-profile names.
Jon Rahm stands as the largest unsecured creditor, having been owed $7.5m (£5.5m) during the third quarter of this year alone.
Following him in the list of those owed money are Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith and Adrian Meronk.
Approximately 15 players are believed to currently hold exemptions allowing them to compete within the DP World Tour framework.
Nine individuals, among them Rahm, have agreed to conditional releases this year enabling simultaneous participation on both tours without facing disciplinary action.
Rahm must now secure his spot for next year's PGA Tour by finishing in the top ten of the DP World Tour's Race to Dubai.
Should LIV bosses successfully raise the capital required to continue their project, the most significant reduction will likely occur in prize money allocations.
It remains uncertain how many of LIV's existing roster will choose to remain with the organisation as it prepares for a launch next year.
