Players react to shocking PGA Tour merger with LIV Golf
The US-backed PGA Tour has ended a two-year-long feud with Saudi Arabia’s LIV Golf in a shocking partnership that has raised criticism among players, commentators, and fans.Â
On Tuesday, PGA announced the collaboration, describing it as an effort to end any standing litigations between the two parties and bring unity to the game of golf. The decision meant a large payout from LIV to jumpstart the new entity.Â
“The parties have signed an agreement that combines PIF’s golf-related commercial businesses and rights (including LIV Golf) with the commercial businesses and rights of the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour into a new, collectively owned, for-profit entity,” the statement read.
The PGA Tour has been a respected staple in the golf community for decades.
