For those who missed the news on Tuesday, it was revealed that the PGA Tour and LIV Golf agreed to merge together. They are looking to move forward as one commercial business, which will certainly be much larger than before for either league.
There was previous drama between LIV Golf players and PGA Tour players, with many former PGA professionals joining LIV Golf.
While LIV Golfers such as Phil Mickelson were excited about the announcement, PGA Tour players were reportedly unaware of the news before it was made public, per Dan Rapaport.
āPGA Tour didnāt communicate this to players at all. They found out same time we did. āShocked and confused.' āDisgusted. They didnāt tell us anything,'ā Rapaport shared on Twitter.
There will be plenty of reactions over the next few weeks. Paige Spiranac is absolutely correct in her prediction that golf Twitter is going to be āspicy the next couple days.ā It will be more than Twitter though. Players from both LIV Golf and the PGA Tour will be asked about this at some point, and it wouldn't be shocking for some of them to give controversial answers to questions about the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger.
This is going to be a fascinating story to follow. We will provide updates as they are made available.
