The announcement that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf will merge under common ownership will go down as one of the most consequential moments in the sport's history but there is plenty of uncertainty about how it will impact the game
on Tuesday that will see the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund - the primary financial backer of LIV Golf - be the exclusive investor of the new entity.
But while they could one day find themselves members of the PGA Tour again, those who joined LIV Golf may get a frosty welcome from those competing on the U.S.-based circuit. Both McIlroy and 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, who has yet to comment on the merger, took aim at Norman last year when they said the Australian needed to step down from his CEO role in order to end the animosity between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour."LIV is and will continue to be a standalone enterprise," he said, according to Sports Illustrated.
"I recognize that people are going to call me a hypocrite," Monahan said on Tuesday after a heated 75-minute meeting with players in Toronto. The two criteria for being a member of the European Ryder Cup team are that a golfer is both European and a member of the DP World Tour.
