PGA Tour nears deal with Saudi backers, thanks to Trump’s intervention

Investing.com -- The PGA Tour announced on Thursday that it is nearing a deal with Saudi backers of LIV Golf, a development that could potentially end the longstanding division in professional golf. This move comes after a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month.

The U.S.-based golf organization revealed that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Player Director Adam Scott met with President Trump on February 4. During the meeting, they sought the President’s intervention in their ongoing discussions with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

In a statement released by the PGA Tour, Monahan, Scott and fellow Player Director Tiger Woods expressed their appreciation for the President’s involvement. They said, "We asked the President to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country, and for all the countries involved."

The statement further noted that the President’s leadership has brought the parties closer to a final agreement. This deal could lead to the reunification of men’s professional golf, which has been fragmented for several years. The PGA Tour did not provide additional details about the potential agreement or its implications for the future of professional golf.
