The PGA Tour and Liv have approached another step to end the bitter civil war of golf, and everything is due to the new president Donald Trump, according to Jay Monahan.
The head of the PGA Tour spent time with Trump at a secret meeting of the White House last week, in which the president measured a meeting between the two golf superpowers.
The conversations between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which finances the LIV circuit, have extended for 20 months, with the greatest obstacle presented by the United States Department of Justice for the concerns that a collaboration It would be in the violation competence laws.
With Trump now in office, he is apparently anxious to make an agreement sooner rather than later, and Monahan has now revealed more details about Crunch conversations last week.
“It was a very productive visit,” said Monahan before invitational genesis in Torrey Pines. 'I think you have all been close enough to know how passionate it is about the golf game.
'For him to respond to our request to sit and talk about how we achieved what he declared publicly as an objective, which is the golf game that operates under a tour with all the best players playing on that single tour, it was a great opportunity. We had a really productive conversation.
