Golf fans are not exactly thrilled with the White House talks, which include Donald Trump, the PGA Tour and LIV officials. The US president has openly said many times that he is ready to help golf get back on its feet and move into a more promising future. Such meetings are the best confirmation of his openness, but still some are skeptical about these meetings.
Well-known golf journalists and experts explain the situation, believing that each of the parties wants to benefit from this story, and such an approach can make the path to unification more difficult.
However, most people share the view that the PIF governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, looks exclusively at his own goals and benefits, considering that even if the final deal is reached, he will continue to invest in LIV.
LIV Golf players: Will they return to PGA Tour?
The final deal would allow former LIV Golf stars to return to the PGA Tour, the place where it all began. Regardless of the outcomes in this story, PIF is not giving up on its project, aiming to invest a lot more money in LIV Golf. Their primary goal is obviously to become the dominant Tour on the golf scene, and to surpass the PGA Tour.
There are also interesting rumors that some of the LIV Golfers could remain loyal to LIV Golf despite the final deal, not wanting to play PGA Tour events. Reason? LIV Golf tournaments will provide them with significantly more money, and probably many of them will not step on the PGA.
However, golf experts emphasize that if there is a final deal, the agreement will be such that they will have to agree to play on both Tours.
According to some information, the final deal could be reached in a few weeks.
Both sides are open to such an option, but we will see if they will find a compromise and put an end to everything.
