LIV dangerously - the Saudi tour

I've obviously missed the finer details - I thought "we're merging LIV and PGA" meant that there wasn't going to still be 2 separate entities. I mean, what would kind of bloody merger is that?

The merger was agreed in principle in June, with a deadline of December 31st 2023. Time is short & there's talk of a big US backer which could scupper the deal.
There was also an agreement that until the deal is done LIV wouldn't be able to poach anymore PGA players. This has since been rescinded by the US Department of Justice.

so coukld we now be seeing a third breakaway? and did LIV get the Dept of Justice involved?

^^ No & no.

Who was it who recently defected to LIV?

And what happens now if no merger has happened

Apparently Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton have both rejected offers to join LIV.

Eight days later lol....


but it's probably not about the money right

Jon Rahm won this week's event, his first trophy in a fair while.

Sergio Garcia is coming home so he can try making another Ryder Cup.

ITV have secured rights to televise the LIV tour for 2025 starting with the Riyadh event.
