Fenway Sports Group who have secured a $1.5bn investment in the PGA Tour…
As they travel to the Bahamas for meetings with the Saudi Public Investment Fund and the greatest names in the PGA Tour, Newcastle United CEO Yasir Al-Rumayyan and golf superstar Tiger Woods may put an end to the rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
The PGA and DP World Tours are attempting to reach an agreement with the LIV Golf supporters that would put an end to the controversy surrounding the sport. Along with Woods, Patrick Cantlay is one of six players on the PGA Tour policy board. On Sunday at The Players Championships, he attended a “meet and greet” with representatives from Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, the owners of Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group, who recently invested $1.5 billion in the PGA Tour, are among the members of the Strategic Sports Group that are in Nassau. It’s thought that the gathering is happening at the Albany Resort, the location of Woods’ annual Hero World Challenge competition.
During the course of the December discussions, LIV Golf recruited Jon Rahm, the winner of the Masters. How LIV players return to the PGA Tour, how to thank the PGA Tour veterans for staying, and how LIV Golf fits into any future golf schedule are still undetermined.
Former PGA Tour Policy Board member Rory McIlroy believes Tiger Woods need to be involved in discussions. “Well, he’s a player director,” he remarked. He should definitely be participating because he is on the board.”
