PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan recently met with President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss finalizing an investment deal with Saudi Arabian backers of rival LIV Golf. Monahan, along with player director Adam Scott, sought Trump's involvement in the negotiations for the benefit of the game and all parties involved. The aim is to reunify men's professional golf, with Tiger Woods also playing a significant role in the negotiations.
The initial agreement between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia was reached in June 2023, ending antitrust lawsuits. However, the deal faced scrutiny from the Justice Department, leading to further negotiations over the past year. The recent discussions involve PIF becoming a minority investor in the PGA Tour's commercial arm, PGA Tour Enterprises.
