The conflict between the PGA Tour and the emerging LIV Golf has seemingly reached its resolution.
In a joint announcement on Tuesday, the two golf organizations, along with the European DP World Tour, declared their intention to merge and operate under a unified entity going forward.
Jay Monahan, the commissioner of the PGA Tour, stated, "We have come to realize that by working together, we can make a significantly greater impact on the sport."
LIV Golf, backed by funding from the Saudi government's Public Investment Fund, made its debut in 2021, successfully enticing prominent golfers such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Bryson DeChambeau.
The announcement caught many professional golfers off guard, leading some of them to express their surprise and disappointment through tweets.
