or the European Tour—have agreed to merge, and in theory form a unified global entity to showcase the game of golf. All litigation between the two bodies will cease.While the exact structure of this unnamed, for-profit entity—and what it means for golf fans—is still being worked out, it seems safe to say that the PGA Tour and the players themselves will directly benefit from Saudi investment, especially when it comes to prize money.

If LIV went away tomorrow, I’d be super happy.” The announcement caught Tour players off-guard.
