The “war” between LIV Golf and the PGA is reportedly about to end.
According to what the media reported The Sun in the United Kingdom, on Saturday, representatives of the LIV would pay nearly $2 billion in order to find themselves on the PGA circuit.
This amount would allow the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund to hold 11 percent of the circuit's shares. There will also be two positions assigned to him on the PGA Tour committee, including that of president.
It is possible to read in The Sun that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy played key roles in ensuring that the different parties involved reached an agreement, without however precisely indicating the nature of their contribution. The pact must also be approved by the players on the PGA Tour, but everything suggests that they will acquiesce.
This regulation thus puts an end to a separation in the world of professional golf since the arrival of LIV Golf three years ago. Since then, this circuit has recruited several star players with huge sums, including Jon Rahm for 500 million euros a year ago. Players who joined the LIV Tour were banned from PGA-sanctioned events.
The LIV has 14 tournaments on its calendar and these will now be under the aegis of the PGA.
