LIV Golf Explores Partnership with DP World Tour

LIV Golf is reportedly in discussions to partner with the DP World Tour outside of the existing framework agreement between the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the PGA Tour, which has faced delays since its announcement in June 2023. As negotiations with the PGA Tour stall, there are speculations that the DP World Tour might align itself with LIV Golf and the Asian Tour, potentially creating a new global circuit. This development could significantly enhance LIV Golf's standing in the golfing calendar and strengthen the financial position of the DP World Tour. Meanwhile, LIV golfers face conditions to participate in the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup, including fines and required participation in DP World Tour events. The ongoing discussions reflect the shifting dynamics in professional golf as stakeholders seek new opportunities amid frustrations with current negotiations. The potential partnership could mark a significant turning point in the relationship between these competing entities in the sport.
