LIV Golf may flash more cash, but The PGA Tour is still considered the pre-eminent golf tour. At one stage the European Tour rivalled it in status, but most of the best European and international golfers now gravitate to the PGA Tour and play mostly on this tour.
A recurring aspects of golf history is the retrospective awarding to tournaments a status that they did not have at the time. For instance those competing in the 1860 Open Championship will have had no idea that they were competing in an event that would later be deemed to be one of golf's four Men's Majors. Nor, for that matter, would those who took part in a tournament at Augusta in 1934 know that they were competing in a future Major event known as The Masters. They were simply competing in the Augusta National Invitation Tournament.
