PGA Tour Considers Major Changes Amid LIV Golf Talks
News summary

The PGA Tour is planning significant changes aimed at enhancing competitiveness and exclusivity, potentially starting in 2026, including a reduction of tour cards for Korn Ferry Tour players. This proposal reflects the evolving landscape of professional golf amidst ongoing negotiations with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is reportedly cutting its global spending from 30% to 18-20% to focus on domestic investments. LIV Golf, heavily backed by PIF, faces uncertainty as changes in funding may affect contracts, including Phil Mickelson's $200 million deal, which may not be renewed at the same value. The PGA Tour's fall season is currently setting the stage for 2025, with players vying for tour cards and exemptions amidst scrutiny over the fairness of sponsor exemptions. Meanwhile, LIV Golf's leadership is in transition, with CEO Greg Norman reportedly being replaced, indicating potential shifts in the league's direction. As the dynamics between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf evolve, the future of professional golf remains uncertain.
