US President Donald Trump hosted a meeting at the White House with PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Tour Player Director Adam Scott, and Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan to discuss golf reunification. The meeting marked the latest development in negotiations between the two sides.
Monahan released a statement following the meeting, expressing gratitude for Trump’s leadership and reaffirming the PGA Tour’s commitment to reunifying with LIV Golf. The group emphasized their shared passion for the game and their goal of increasing opportunities for top players.
The meeting was seen as significant, particularly given Al-Rumayyan’s presence, which has boosted Saudi investment in professional golf. While details about a potential deal remain scarce, the talks suggest a renewed focus on unity among golf’s top players.
Negotiations between LIV and the PGA Tour have been ongoing for years, with both sides presenting competing visions for the future of men’s professional golf. The meeting underscores the shifting landscape of the sport, with incentives aligning to facilitate a potential compromise.
The PGA Tour has emerged as a dominant force in the industry, while LIV Golf has gained traction with its unique format and Saudi backing. The meeting marks an important step toward finding common ground between the two sides, potentially paving the way for a unified tour.
