Jay Monahan’s update at PGA Tour-Liv Deal hits with different tones

Shape Golf Laurie Canter became the first member of the Breakaway District to be entitled to the player championship, the PGA Tour Flag event.

But this has to do with all the news they have to wait in front of the reunion at the moment, According to the PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan.

“I don’t see it happening,” Monahan told reporters Tuesday to Arnold Palmer Invitational when asked if an agreement between the Saudi Arab Arab Public Investment Fund will be announced next week at TPC Sawgrass.

Rumors have been swinging that Meeting at the White House Among Monahan, Pif Yasir al-Rumayyan Governor and President Donald Trump did not go as both sides have claimed. Monahan retired back to that narrative on Tuesday, but was also made sure to endure expectations in a time limit for the agreement.

“I think everything I said or we said, all three said, is in line with what is to be said when you are in the midst of a complex discussion to try and reunite the golf game,” Monahan said through Golf Channel. “It doesn’t talk about my level of faith. Speaks at the moment. I see that meeting as a big step and so I look at it very positively.

“We had a recent meeting with the President, the Public Investment Fund, we thought it was a constructive meeting,” Monahan said. “And we are grateful to the president for his leadership, extremely grateful for him, for his willingness to wait for us in the Oval office and help us continue those conversations. I feel like looking at his comment last week while seeing a deal that is happening and the comments of Yasir al-Rumayyan in Fii for the good meeting we have been going to meet.”

Monahan said that with PGA Tour entering a busy extension of the season and Liv Golf playing events in Hong Kong and Singapore in the next two weeks, there is no date for the next meeting between the three sides.

“It doesn’t mean there will be no conversations, there is not just a physical meeting,” Monahan said.

After PGA Tour’s first meeting with Trump, Monahan spoke with reporters at AT&T Pebble Beach pro-am and made him sound like He expected something to be done At the front of the PGA Tour-Liv Soon. Monahan spoke of a desire to have all the best players in the world play under the umbrella of a tournament. it is antithetic to rhetoric Leaving Liv Golf, who has been convinced that he plans to stay around even when the union is complete.

The detachment between the PGA Tour reunion’s purpose and the Livi’s desire to remain a league is one of the biggest obstacles to cleaning. But Monahan also has to deal with a tours membership that is divided into the thought of returning Livi players In a tour they turned their backs. While Rory Mcilroy and others want to return everyone and move forward, Monahan knows that some players will not be satisfied with the final result of the union whenever his conclusion arrives.

“I think Adam Scott put it very well last week, when you are looking to reunite the game, not everyone will be happy,” Monahan said. “I would say that with our player directors, with our board, we are very aware of the reunification and focus on that goal. And ultimately when we reach that position, this is a question we will all answer. the most effective and careful way we can. “

A month ago, Monahan hit a safe tone for the status of union talks. While the commissioner claimed that he has not changed, words as “constructive” and “big step” suggest that golf reunion may be further than previously believed.

As for Canter, the Englishman spent last year playing at the DP World Tournament after being a member of Liv Golf in 2022 and 2023. He played for the last time in Liv in Las Vegas last February. Since then, Canter has won twice on the DP World Tournament and has been raised to number 42 in the world, which invited him to the player championship next week.

“He won his way,” Monahan said. “We’re excited to have it.”

The former Liv’s first player will remove it at the tournament event of the tournament next week. It may pass some time before the rest of its earlier groups were chasing the lawsuit.
