Donald Trump is known for his “art of the deal.”
It’s how he made his business empire.
Now Trump says he could broker a deal that could quickly end one of the long-standing spat between the PGA Tour and rival LIV Golf.
Trump, who has hosted five LIV Golf events on his golf courses, believes that he could get all sides to come together in a matter of minutes if he wins the Presidential Election over Kamala Harris.
However, he did fully admit that it would be well down his presidential to-do list.
“Well, I’m going to really work on other things, to be honest with you. I think we have much bigger problems than that,” Trump said on the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast with Bill Belichick last night.
“But I do think we should have one tour, and they should have the best players in that tour – meaning you have many tours, but your primary tour… Because when Scotty wins or when they win on the other tour, we have a lot of… there’s a lot of great players. I mean, beyond great. It’s really top, top players on LIV.”
“It would be nice if they could all play together. It’s terrible when somebody’s shut out of a major. It’s terrible. But they’re very happy with Saudi. They’re over there and they’re very happy about it. They really are. It’s amazing.”
“But I think it’ll come together. Yeah, I could certainly help, but I could probably get it done. I would say it would take me the better part of 15 minutes to get that deal done,” Trump continued.
It’s been nearly 18 months since PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan shook hands on a framework agreement that would theoretically end the ‘civil war’ between the Tour and LIV Golf.
Let’s see if Trump could change that.
