LIV, PGA Tour Announce Golf Merger

The PGA Tour has agreed to merge with its rival, LIV Golf, a Saudi-backed league founded last year, to create one unified, global league the PGA announced on Tuesday.

The merger will end all pending litigation between the parties, mending a burgeoning split in men’s professional golf that has remade the game in the last year.

The rivals have agreed to create a “new, collectively owned, for-profit entity” that will deliver “maximum excitement and competition among the game’s best players,” PGA said.
