Golf’s biggest names are pulling out all the stops to try and strike a deal with the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
Including brokering President Donald Trump to the negotiating table.
This morning, Golfweek reported that efforts to strike a deal unifying the PGA Tour and LIV Golf are ramping up.
It’s reported that President Trump, Jay Monahan and Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan are scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., along with Tiger Woods, according to ESPN.
While he PGA Tour has not confirmed the meeting, when speaking to reporters last week at Torrey Pines, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said he believes President Donald Trump would help the two sides get a deal done.
“Everything is moving forward with pace, and I think there’s a general, when you look at all the parties involved, there’s a general enthusiasm for getting this done,” Monahan said.
“I think the meeting [with Trump] ultimately gets us one step closer to a deal being done, but there’s a lot more work to do.”
Tiger Woods appeared in the broadcast booth last weekend at Torrey Pines and echoed the sentiments of the commissioner, saying “things are going to heal quickly.”
“We’re going to get this game going in the right direction,” Woods said.
“It’s been heading in the wrong direction for a number of years and the fans want all of us to play together, all the top players playing together, and we’re going to make that happen.”
