Paul McGinley expects PGA-LIV deal before Masters

Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley anticipates a potential agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf could be announced before the Masters tournament in April. Negotiations, aimed at resolving the ongoing split in professional golf, are reportedly closer to reaching a resolution, although McGinley acknowledges that the process will be gradual. Meanwhile, LIV Golf has secured a six-year extension in Australia, solidifying its presence until 2031, despite significant financial losses reported in previous years. The league's revenue has seen a notable increase, largely attributed to its successful Adelaide event. LIV CEO Scott O’Neil expressed optimism about a merger with the PGA Tour, suggesting it could unlock various opportunities for growth. Rory McIlroy highlighted the potential influence of Donald Trump in facilitating a resolution between the two tours.
