Trump involvement helps PGA Tour get closer to LIV Golf deal: Commissioner
Briefly

The PGA Tour is urging President Donald Trump to negotiate with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is backing the LIV Golf League. Due to LIV's lucrative contracts enticing PGA players, the sport remains divided. PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, along with player-director Tiger Woods, met Trump to encourage his involvement, believing it could benefit golf and the countries involved. The push for reunification grows urgent, as a previous framework agreement remains unresolved 18 months after its announcement and surpassed deadlines for completion.
We know golf fans are eagerly anticipating a resolution to negotiations with the Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and long-time support of the game of golf.
We asked the President to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country, and for all the countries involved.
More than 18 months have passed since the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the PIF announced a framework agreement for an alliance that shocked the sports world.
Trump does have standing and credibility with the LIV founders. His Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami is hosting an event in April, as it did in 2023.
