PGA Tour and LIV Golf Leaders Hold Constructive Talks at the White House with Trump
In a series of meetings at the White House, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, legendary golfer Tiger Woods, and officials from LIV Golf engaged in discussions aimed at reconciling their differences and potentially merging the two entities. Former President Donald Trump hosted these talks, emphasizing the need for unity within professional golf. Despite constructive conversations and optimism from Woods about the healing process in the sport, no formal deal was reached during the discussions. Key figures such as Yasir Al-Rumayyan from the Saudi Public Investment Fund also participated, suggesting that further negotiations might unfold in the near future, with expectations that LIV Golf players could potentially rejoin the PGA Tour as early as March. The ongoing dialogue has stirred mixed feelings among PGA Tour members, with concerns about the inclusion of LIV players being a contentious topic.
