In the wake of a The Wall Street Journal report confirming Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund will step away from funding LIV Golf from 2027 onwards, the sport finds itself back in familiar territory. Speculation. Noise. Half-truths. Strategic leaks. And not a lot of formal clarity from LIV Golf itself, which, in fairness, is very on brand.
The PGA Tour has rejected a $US1.5 billion ($A2.4 billion) reunification offer from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The Guardian UK was the first to report on the development.
A PGA Tour delegation of Tiger Woods, Australia’s Adam Scott and commissioner Jay Monahan are meeting US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday afternoon (Friday morning, AEDT), according to sources.
Tiger Woods said he believes the professional game will “heal very quickly” if and when the PGA Tour can come to an agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund as negotiations between the two entities continue.
Speaking with the media ahead of this week’s RBC Canadian Open, McIlroy – who has served as the face of the PGA Tour during its battle with the Saudi-backed league – expressed that his feelings towards LIV remain unchanged.
