The PGA Tour and Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf ended their bitter feud by agreeing to a merger in a shock announcement on Tuesday.
LIV Golf and the PGA Tour have signed an agreement in principle, with their rights going to a new, unnamed, and unconfirmed company. Tuesday's blockbuster announcement will also see an end to all pending litigation, after being embroiled in an antitrust lawsuit with the PGA.
LIV defectors such as Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Bryson DeChambeau have been roundly criticised for joining the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund entity, even coming under fire from fellow competitors and PGA loyalists.
