LIV Golf's Future to Be Controlled by PGA Tour Leadership Under Framework Agreement

In the wake of the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and DP World Tour agreeing to a landmark merger, the future of LIV Golf will be in the hands of PGA Tour leadership, including commissioner Jay Monahan.

According to ESPN's Mark Schlabach, Monahan, DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley and Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan signed a five-page agreement that will largely place the PGA Tour in charge of all matters moving forward.

The viability of continuing LIV Golf is among the orders of business that will be considered, with the agreement stating the following:

"NewCo will undertake a full and empirical data-driven evaluation of LIV and its prospects and potential and will make a good faith assessment of the benefits of team golf in general, and PIF, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour will work together in an effort to determine how to best integrate team golf into PGA Tour and DP World Tour events going forward.
