PINEHURST, USA — One year after the shock unveiling of a merger agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's Saudi financial backers, the controversial move has not produced a finalized deal.It was June 6, 2023, when PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan announced their plan to unify the PGA and LIV, restoring a single tour for golf's best talent.
A December 31 deadline was missed, and a transaction subcommittee is now charged with negotiations, with player member Rory McIlroy telling Sports Illustrated they have spoken with the Saudis three times a week in the past month.A Friday gathering in New York with Monahan, Al-Rumayyan and Tiger Woods involved was the first in-person meeting since March, McIlroy calling it 'big-boy stuff' with business leaders, not players, leading talks.
