Talk of LIV players making a return to the PGA Tour has intensified in recent months with the Tour continuing to negotiate a peace deal with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF). Having been in talks since announcing a framework agreement in June 2023, the PGA Tour drafted in President Donald Trump to help accelerate the negotiations.
Many are hopeful that a peace deal will result in lifting bans for players from the rival league. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan spoke about the ongoing discussions at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week, stating: “We had a recent meeting with the President, the Public Investment Fund, thought it was a constructive meeting.
“And we’re thankful for the President for his leadership, extremely thankful for him, for his willingness to host us in the Oval Office, and to help us continue those conversations. I feel like if you look at his commentary last week as ultimately seeing a deal happening and Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s comments at the FII about the good meeting that we had, I think we’ll just continue to move forward on those conversations.”
