A major player in the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger negotiations believes the solution reached is "the best long-term for the game."
In a stunning development that few players on the two rival factions saw coming, it was confirmed on Tuesday that the two organisations would integrate moving forward, following 12 months of legal wrangling. The exact future structure of the professional game remains unclear, and the development has also prompted a backlash against PGA Tour chief Jay Monahan.
The talks had been conducted largely in secret, with even the likes of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods - two of the main detractors of the Saudi-backed tour - kept in the dark. Meanwhile LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman was also excluded from the process, prompting questions over his future.
