Monahan, Scott visit White House to hasten merger with LIV Golf and unite factions
-
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Adam Scott have implored US President Donald Trump to help complete a Saudi Arabian investment deal and reunite golf's top players in one series.
A PGA Tour statement on Feb 6 attributed to Monahan and playerdirectors Scott and Tiger Woods confirmed Australian Scott and Monahan went to the White House on Feb 4 seeking the assistance of Mr Trump, an avid golfer.
Talks have dragged on 14 months past an original deadline between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's backers, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, to reunite the sport's best players, many of whom bolted from the PGA to the upstart series and are banned from PGA events.
Both LIV and the PGA Tour have 2025 seasons planned, as details remain incomplete on a PIF investment deal, with US Department of Justice's legal concerns about Saudi financing of a United States business, among the issues involved.
"We know golf fans are eagerly anticipating a resolution to negotiations with the Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and long-time support of the game of golf," said the statement from Monahan and the two players.
