PGA Tour, LIV Golf Leaders Discuss Merger at White House

A recent meeting at the White House between President Donald Trump and leaders from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf focused on discussions about the potential reunification of golf. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, player directors Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, and Saudi PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan participated in the meeting aimed at advancing negotiations that have been ongoing since a framework agreement was announced in June 2023. Although the PGA Tour expressed a commitment to reunification, no specific timeline for a potential merger was disclosed. The PGA Tour is concurrently moving forward with its season, including the Mexico Open, while LIV Golf recently wrapped up an event in Adelaide. Amidst these discussions, there are indications that LIV golfers may participate in the unofficial fifth Major, The Players Championship 2025. The meeting reflects ongoing efforts from both sides to resolve regulatory challenges and improve collaboration within the sport.
