A fusion between the golf war factions has approached after a PGA Tour delegation met with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, this week.
The conversations between the 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 would be in the violation competence laws.
However, it seems to have taken a significant step forward after the Commissioner of the Jay Monahan tour and former master's champion Adam Scott visited the White House on Tuesday.
A statement by PGA Tour, co-filmed by Monahan, Tiger Woods and Scott said: “We know that golf fans are anxiously anticipating a resolution to negotiate with the Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and support For a long time of the golf game.
'We ask the president to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country and for all the countries involved. We are grateful that their leadership has brought us closer to a final agreement, racing the way for reunification of male professional golf.
During his campaign for re -election, Trump had claimed that he could resolve the confrontation in less than '15 minutes'.

Monahan's original announcement of a fusion between the rival golf leagues surprised fans in June 2023, without a formal conclusion on the matter.
Trump is a dedicated golfist, using a recent weekend after being inaugurated as president for the second time to play golf in one of his fields.
Trump's doral resort course in Florida will organize an LIV event in April, the first tournament that will be organized in a course owned by the acting president.
It was thought that the president had had an icy relationship with the PGA after stripping his New Jersey course in Bedminster of the PGA championship in 2022 after the attack of the Capitol of January 6.
Trump immersed in the world of sport is nothing new, and will continue, since he is expected to attend Sunday's Super Bowl among the Kansas City and Philadelphia Eagles chiefs.
