The PGA Tour published a statement on Thursday, thanking President Donald Trump for having prohibited the efforts of the tour to negotiate a trade agreement with the Liv golf course and the Public Public Investment Fund (PIF).
“We asked the president to get involved in the good of the game, the property of the country and all the countries involved,” said a statement by the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan and the director of the players Tiger Woods. “We are grateful that his leadership has brought us closer to a final agreement, opening the way to the reunification of male professional golf.”
After its launch in 2022, LIV attracted several star golfers with massive wages, including Jon Rahm, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia.
In June of the same year, the PGA suspended 17 players who undertook to play for Liv and promised future suspensions for all those who participated in Liv.

In June 2023, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour in Europe announced that they had a “framework agreement” for a merger with Pif and Liv. But the agreement has never materialized because the deadline to conclude this agreement was adopted at the end of this year.
More than a full year has passed since then, but now Trump’s intervention can bring this agreement closer to the conclusion.

Trump changed the course of the history of female sport by signing the “No men in female sports” Executive decree in the east room of the White House in front of female athletes on national girls and women of the sports day on Wednesday.
The NCAA quickly captured Trump, announcing a new participation policy for transgender students.
“A student-athlete assigned to birth may not compete in a female team,” said the new policy.
It was also reported this week that Trump will become the first president in office of history to attend a Super Bowl.
The news aroused the excitation of the stars of Kansas City Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of an in -office president,” said Mahomes. “Someone who is in the superior position of our country.”
Kelce called him an “honor”.
“I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know that I am excited because it is the biggest game of my life, you know. And having the president there, you know, that is The best country in the world would be pretty cool, “said Kelce.
