Trump organized two meetings in the White House this year with Jay Monahan, commissioner at the PGA Tour, Jay Monahan And Yasir al-Rumayyan, the governor of the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia, to help negotiate an agreement between LIV and the tour.
The PGA Tour, the PIF and the DP World Tour signed a framework agreement in June 2023 in the hope of repairing the Rift, but the parties involved managed to conclude any agreement before the expiration of this agreement at the end of the year.
