The PGA Tour will merge with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf organization and the European Tour to form a new entity beginning in 2024.
The merger comes after nearly a year of simmering hostilities between the PGA Tour and LIV, which began play in 2022. Several top-level PGA stars such as Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson were wooed away to LIV by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which paid signing bonuses in the hundreds of millions.
The merger will end any litigation between the organizations and their former members. Former PGA and European Tour members for left for LIV will be allowed to re-apply for membership at the completion of the 2023 season. “We are pleased to move forward, in step with LIV and PIF’s world-class investing experience, and I applaud PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan for his vision and collaborative and forward-thinking approach that is not just a solution to the rift in our game, but also a commitment to taking it to new heights. This will engender a new era in global golf, for the better.”
