LIV and PGA Tour all friends again, all supping from the same source of filthy lucre via IrishTimesSport
The moral high ground, if it was ever there, has been lost
The moral high ground taken by a number of players – with Rory McIlroy at the core of those advocating the traditions and sanctity of the PGA Tour – must now be squared off with the fact that the new entity is sourced from the very same fund that was so reprehensible. It’ll be interesting to see how past statements on the matter can be sanitised in this new world order, one admittedly where the pieces of the jigsaw remain to fall completely into place.
While there are elements of the new agreement that seem unclear in the direction that will be taken – with LIV continuing and the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour respective schedules’ staying in place and any of the so-called “defectors” having the right to re-join the traditional tours at season’s end – what is clear is that the PIF is the primary source of funding for men’s professional golf globally and the main stakeholder.
