PGA Tour members held crunch talks about the future of the tour earlier this week amid golf's ongoing civil war with the highly controversial LIV Golf Series.
Tiger Woods was at the centre of the meeting after reaffirming his loyalty to the PGA Tour and the Fire Pit Collective reports that 'the formation of a tour-within-the-Tour' was discussed. The proposal would see the tour hold 18 no-cut tournaments where the sport's top 60 golfers play for $20 million (£17 million) purses.
The report notes the idea 'sounds very much like what LIV has already created, with its 48-man, no-cut fields vying for $25 million purses'. It also claims the idea of the tour renouncing its non-profit status was discussed at the meeting, which would allow it to accept private investment in a bid to compete with the financial clout of the Saudi-backed LIV.
