As a journalist, I can report that Saudi Arabia is set to spend billions on a shock merger of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. According to Deadline, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have agreed to merge their commercial operations, with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf taking a controlling stake in the new entity. The move comes after LIV Golf lured some of the biggest players away from the traditional PGA Tour with lucrative offers.
The merger is expected to shake up the golf world, with some fans and players split on the move. The PGA Tour has long been the dominant force in professional golf, but LIV Golf has been making waves with its brasher, more modern approach. The merger will create a new entity that will be a major player in the golf world, with the financial backing of Saudi Arabia.
As a journalist, it is important to note that the merger has not been without controversy. Saudi Arabia has been criticized for its human rights record, and some have raised concerns about the country’s influence on the sport of golf. However, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have defended the merger, saying it will benefit the sport and its fans.
