PGA Tour merges with Saudi Arabia and ends fight with LIV Golf

The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday it is merging forces with the Saudi Arabia’s golf venture.

The move will see the tour make a commercial operation with the Public Investment Fund and the European tour.

As a consequence all lawsuits against LIV Golf will be dropped, which would see them end their long-term feud.

The deal concludes that the PGA will still have the majority stakes, but the governor of Saudi Arabia’s wealth will be joining the board of directors.
