Over the past month, there has been a number of rumors and signs that the agreement between PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), which finances Liv Golf, has stopped on the ground.
At Arnold Palmer Invitational, Rory Mcilroy said, “It takes two in tango”, signaling that the PGA Tour is not receiving the communication it needs from PIF. Mcilroy noted that he believes PGA Tour does not “need” a deal with Liv Golf, though it is clear that Northern Ireland would like the game to come back together.
During next week’s player championship, PGA Tour Jay Monahan Commissioner offered some details on the state of negotiations In addition to repetition of the tournament desire for reunion. When Adam Scott, who is a member of the subcommittee of the transaction that has been secret in negotiations, was later asked about the obstacles left to make an agreement, he sheds light on the terrible state of things.
“The tour is very careful and respectful to everyone and wants to give everyone, golf and media and players, the product they want,” Scott said. “But we’re starting from two different sides of this, so I think it’s hard to find the balance that is acceptable to everyone. And it may not be eventually possible.”
The main obstacle in negotiations seems to derive from the tournament of the tour to have All key players play under the umbrella of “a tour”. This desire is in direct contrast to the wishes of those responsible for Liv Golf, who have been convinced that the Breeneway League will be with full advantage ahead despite.
While there was some hope for moving in the deal earlier this year, that moment seems to have evaporated, and the newest Move for Liv Golf-a documentary series of all approaches called “Liv to Win”-may be another sign that reunification efforts have hit a wall.
To a trailer posted by Golf On Friday, various players have been shown by signing the high level praise of the Breakway League competition. Jon Rahm’s likes, Paul Casey and Louis Oosthuizen, have been seen resting by critics who claim they do not care about the outcome and that Liv is not true competition. There is also a scene where the new CEO Scott O’neil tells players to focus on what is in front of them and “not in the back mirror”, a clear indication that the Liv plan is to continue to plow forward.

There is also a trailer scene where two men seem to be discussing interest from PGA Tour members in the potentially Liv Union. This seems to be a clear shot in the PGA Tour arch as both sides appear ready to dig back in their respective positions.
ABOUT PGA Tour Ratches Returning And liv golf’s Numbers in Fox Sports barely registered While the leagues were playing in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, Livi’s backstage documentary seems to be an interior house dealing with the speech of eventual league demolition. A message for PGA Tour and the Golf world in general that they do not plan to fold the store at any time soon. Everything in the 90-second trailer-from conversation about the level of competition to the interests rumored by those in PGA Tour-is Liv’s attempt to beat back to the story that PGA Tour is blooming and they are drying. A heavy -handed response to PGA Tour, who appeared to be on the ropes for a year in the arrival of Livi, stabilizing himself and showing that there is still the popularity and reputation that Liv is seeking.
Of course, it is unlikely to move the needle to anyone who is not already in their corner. However, the purpose of the documentary is clear.
The message aside, the contents in the trailer also comes up with its own issues.
It is Rahm, who once claimed that a league of only 54 holes and a rifle start was not real competition, taking a slide to critics who say he does not care if he wins or loses in Liv. There is Paul Casey and Ian Poultier who talk about what “people said” when Liv started. Kevin Na, who still doesn’t have to win in Liv, gives a beautiful sound for nothing that matters except victory.
It is a mix of the victory shoot and “Please do not put it in the newspapers we read the victim’s victimism on YouTube.” Another object that will eventually serve as a reminder of the absurdity of this era of professional golf – a ruled by greed and ego.
After the months of PGA Tour-Si Monahan and the stars-talking about the reunion of the game, this offer of all with access to public relations is the first volleyball of Liv in discourse in long time.
There is no forgiveness or recognition that they share the game separately. No objection or desire to bring the game again now that they have captured their controls. Only one more than the chest and gas lighting from a championship that is currently set to continue the civil conflict of golf.
At a press conference, world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler was asked to see only Rahm and other liv players four times a year and if he wants him to face them more. Scheffler, whose attitude on this issue has been as stable as his iron game, showed those who left Like those who have to answer questions about the state of the game, not he, Mcilroy and others who stayed.
“They did what they wanted to do, and I can’t control their lives. I won’t sit here and say they should have done something different,” Scheffler said. “They made their choice. If we want to figure out why the golf game isn’t coming back together, go ask those guys. Go wherever they are playing this week and realize that when the game will come back together.”
If the first scenes from “Liv to Win” are any indication, the answer is clear: the cold golf war is unlikely to melt up to Liv, and those who support it, or the gum of money loss or league loses a big name or two in the tours after starting contracts.
