Big golf surprise: PGA Tour & DP World Tour agree merger with LIV Golf
The PGA Tour and DP World Tour have agreed to merge with Saudi Arabian-backed circuit LIV Golf in a deal that ends the acrimonious split in the game.
The surprising announcement of the merge among two competitors: PGA Tour and LIV Golf became a real sensation.
The agreement comes after a year of unprecedented disruption in the men's game following the launch of LIV.
It means pending litigation between the tours will be halted and they will move forward as part of the same enterprise.
