‘The PGA Tour has agreed to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf in a deal that would see the competitors squash pending litigation and move forward as a larger golf enterprise.

The two entities signed an agreement that would combine the PGA Tour's and LIV Golf's commercial businesses and rights into a new, yet-to-be-named for-profit company. The agreement includes DP World Tour, also known as the PGA European Tour.’

I usually only watched the PGA in recent years when there a major, goodbye PGA.

1. It's all about the money

And young people aren’t into watching golf on Tv like their parents or even play it.

4. It's always been a percentage of 20-somethings who play golf...

where the top tour players come from btw. I'd bet that that percentage is the same now as always. Golf is hard and can bet expensive.
Affordable muni courses of course is where those whose parents aren't members of country clubs play, and those courses are always full of players of all ages...young and old.

2. Bonesaw Invitational? Really, PGA?

3. PGA just shafted those who didn't take LIV bucks

And stood on principal and in support of the PGA.

5. Does that mean the Saudi Royals

get a cut of The Masters, and other tournaments?
