Former US President Donald Trump predicted the merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour just under a year ago when he hit out at the likes of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods for not switching.
On Tuesday, the Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf agreed to merge with the PGA Tour to end the divide in golf. Several of the world’s most prominent players, including Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Cameron Smith, decided to turn their backs on the PGA Tour in favour of the lucrative LIV Golf.
The move means the pending legal dispute between the tours will be placed on the back burner as they attempt to co-exist as a single entity. A signed agreement will combine the PGA Tour and LIV's commercial operations and rights into a new company that is yet-to-be-named. The agreement also includes the DP World Tour.
