Paul McGinley on PGA Tour-LIV deal: “It’s going to be announced soon, maybe even before the Masters”

It initially started last weekend after Tiger Woods stated that talks toward a conciliation deal between the PGA and LIV Golf are moving in the right direction.

Woods added that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Player Director Adam Scott had a productive meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump this month, where they asked him to get involved in talks with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund who control LIV.

“I think we’re in a very positive place right now,” Woods said during the CBS Sports broadcast of the Genesis Open in San Diego.

LIV Golf, which features no-cut, 54-hole events, held its inaugural event in June 2022, and through big-money deals and lucrative prize money has since lured a number of golf’s biggest names, including champions such as Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.

McGinley adds hope of settlement

Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland on Monday, the former Ryder Cup captain, Paul McGinley claimed: “The best thing for the game is to come together somehow - it’s not going to be easy as we’ve seen, it’s taken a long time to get to where we are, but it sounds like we’re closer now than we ever have been.”

“But the main thing is to find some kind of umbrella that both tours can work under as well as the DP World Tour and then try to get some kind of schedule out of that.

“There’s going to be something announced and from what I hear, it’s going to be announced relatively soon, maybe even before the Masters.”
