Donald Trump was “the facilitator” in PGA-Liv discussions, said Jay Monahan
The fractured relationship between the two circuits seemed to be on the walk after the PGA Tour, PIF and the DP World Tour signed a framework agreement in June 2023. But the parties involved managed to conclude any agreement before the expiration of this agreement at the end of the year.
Trump’s involvement occurs while the PGA Tour seeks to negotiate with the PIF for a minority investor position in the new commercial enterprises of the PGA Tour.
The idea is to bring the best players on tour, without compromising the integrity of what has already been established, said Monahan this week.

“We do everything we can to bring both games,” he said before the players’ championship. “That said, we will not do so in a way that decreases the strength of our platform or the very real momentum that we have with our fans and our partners. So, even if we have deleted obstacles, others remain.”
Monahan also thanked Trump, adding that their objectives for an agreement involve the same principles.
“President Trump is a golf fan for life. He firmly believes in the power and potential of the game, and he was extremely generous with his time and influence to help conclude an agreement,” he said. “He wants to see the game come together. We want to see the game together. His involvement has made the prospect of reunification very real.”
