Former Captain Ryder Cup Paul McGinley warned that reunification between PGA Tour, Liv Golf and DP World Tour will take time to finalize, but it is necessary to end the ‘funny’ period in a male professional game.
Conversations are underway from signing a framework agreement in June 2023 between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudia Arabia’s Curn Investment Fund (PIF) – which have been bankrupt from the previous June LIV Golf League.
Commissioner PGA Tour Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott met last month with President Donald Trump, who was previously quoted to say he could solve the division between the tour in ’15 minutes’.
Tiger Woods said the game of men can “heal quickly” With Trump involvement, with the former world no. 1 which indicates that negotiations are to end the Golf Civil War in a “very positive place”.
“I think they’ll come here before they start running together,” McGinley said Podcast Sky Sports Golf. “There could be a kind of announcement where there would be a higher level of engagement between two groups (PGA Tour and Pif).

“It is more likely that it could come to start with it and give them a little more time to realize how you get a worldwide schedule and shaping of two tours, especially the role that the World Tour DP will play in it.
“It sounds like things are merging. It sounds like pressure to happen and we hope that, because at this point it is funny what is happening. No tour fails – everyone fights and none of them can be happy .
The players competing in Liv Golf League were suspended on the way out at PGA Tour, including Jon Rahm, Brooks Koeka, Bryson Dechabbeau and Tyrrell Hatton, reducing the world’s best players who could compete in recent seasons.
“The only people who are happy in the last three or four years are players,” McGinley added. “They made absolute wealth on both sides – including DP World Tour compared to what they were before LIV – so they really benefited here, but everyone else lost.
“The sponsors have lost because they have to spend more money. The media have lost, with data on descending and sponsorships come. The public lost because they have to pay more money for their tickets and access these tournaments.
“The public who looks at TV is suffering because they watch the diluted products all the time, and the players gather for four major and maybe Ryder Cup. No one wins here except the players and this is not sustainable.
“The rewards that are currently happening in Golf are not sustainable on any tour. Everyone says Saudis have money and will throw millions and millions to it, but they are not a charity organization.
“To a large extent, those (Saudis) made a lot of noise. They have a great deal of extent what they wanted, which was respect.
Liv Golf League every week mostly has the same field, and the players have signed contracts and dictated their schedule for them, but can it be a cross-golf solution to connect more often in the world?
“Golf has changed radically,” McGinley explained. “One of the things I would like to see a change, which is one of the things I think Liv had absolutely fine, contracting players.
“With the idea of independent merchants, where players choose and choose when and where they want to play, there is no other sport that manages where it happens. People talk about wanting to follow the ‘Formula One model’, but tell me when you tell me when you tell me when you tell me When do you tell me when you tell me when you tell me when you tell me when the driver ever misses my race?
“Also, imagine Moh Salah dictates Liverpool and goes’ I don’t want to play Newcastle. It’s too cold up. I don’t want to go there up in February and play that game. My wife likes to go to London, and I’ll get down and play London matches because it’s great and I like that city.
“This is happening in Golf. The players make decisions 100 percent themselves and I think it’s not good for sports and it’s not good for tours. I would love to see Reiga Golf’s business model, so there is some kind of control over the tours in terms of schedule playing the best players .
