PGA Tour chief resigns over "serious concerns" with LIV Golf merger

PGA Tour policy board member Randall Stephenson has announced his resignation, after admitting he had 'serious concerns' with the Tour's decision to sign an agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF).

The PGA Tour had found itself in a 12-month dispute with newly emerged rival LIV Golf, but this appeared to have come to an end last month. As a result, the Tour announced it had made a ground-breaking deal with PIF, which will see them work in unison with LIV Golf, as well as the DP World Tour.

The announcement on June 6 took the golfing world by storm, with some of the biggest names in the game seemingly left in the dark over the deal, including a number of A-list players.
