Proposals for a long-term agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) included Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy owning LIV Golf teams, a Senate subcommittee investigation has revealed.
Woods and McIlroy were the two biggest opponents of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League, but were kept in the dark when negotiations took place between PGA Tour board member Jimmy Dunne and the PIF’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan in London in April.
Documents released by the Senate subcommittee on Tuesday show that, following those meetings, PCP Capital Partners gave a slide show presentation to Dunne and PGA Tour policy board chairman Ed Herlihy entitled “The Best of Both Worlds”.
