PGA Tour claims that he is closer to the conclusion of the contract with Saudi supporters of Golf Liv who would help end the many years of division in a professional turtleneck.
Circuit from the USA said in a statement that Commissioner PGA Tour Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott met with US President Donald Trump on February 4, when they asked him to get involved in talks with the Saudi Arabi Investment Fund.
“We asked the president to get involved in the good of the game, the good of the country and for all the countries involved,” said PGA Tour in a statement that Monahan, Scott and friend Tiger Woods led.
“We are grateful that his leadership brought us closer to the final contract, paving the way to the professional union of men’s golf.”
LIV Golf, in which there is no-cut, 54-legged events, an inaugural event took place in June 2022, and thanks to contracts with great money and lucrative handbags, he lures many greatest names of Golf, including the main masters of Jon Rahm and Bryson Decambeau.
After a year of adhesion, PGA Tour, PIF and the European DP World Tour announced in June 2023 by a framework agreement for the purpose of commercial operations in the new entity and established on December 31 this year as the date of reaching the final agreement.
This announcement ended the legal battles between the parties, but raised concerns in Washington from legislators who do not trust Saudi Arabia and criticizes the Human Rights Register in this country.
The parties extended the deadline, and when the talks with PIF stretched, apart from investors’ interest in PGA Tour, heated through the Strategic Sports Group, an investment group, headed by the Fenway Sports Group.
Liv Golf played in the fields belonging to Donald Trump from the very beginning and will do it again in 2025, and the event on April 4-6, which will take place at the Trump National Dalal in Miami.
