Golf Podcast 493: New Leak Reveals Surprising PGA / LIV Plans

09/05/23 • 34 min

A recent information leak from a credible news source has shed light on the "framework" agreement between the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf. As part of the agreement, the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf are set to combine together (along with the DP World Tour) for a total of 18 combined-field events in 2025. This recent leak of information has revealed quite a bit about how the structured agreement between the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf will work, including which players will play in these combined events, who will be in charge of the program, and most importantly...who will pay for it all. Needless to say this restructuring between the PGA TOUR, LIV Golf, DP World Tour, and the Saudi PIF fund will be the biggest shake-up in the history of professional golf. And, not all players are happy about it. Many like Rory McIlory and Matt Fitzpatrick have expressed their dislike of the idea of LIV golfers playing on the PGA TOUR and vice versa. So what will all of this look like as we head into 2024?
