The PGA Tour issued a statement on Thursday that gave President Donald Trump to intervene in the effort of the tour to negotiate a commercial agreement with Liv Golf and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia.
“We ask the president to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country and for all the countries involved,” said a statement from the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan, and the director of players Tiger Woods. “We are grateful that their leadership has brought us closer to a final agreement, racing the way for reunification of male professional golf.”
After its launch in 2022, Liv attracted several star golfers with mass salaries, including Jon Rahm, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka, Ian Poulter and Sergio García.
In June of that year, the PGA suspended 17 players who promised to play for LIV and promised future suspensions for anyone who participated in LIV events.

In June 2023, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour based in Europe announced that they had a “frame agreement” for a merger with PIF and LIV. But the agreement never materialized because the deadline to complete that agreement approved at the end of that year.
Since then, more than a full year has passed, but now Trump’s intervention can bring that treatment closer to the fruit.

Golf star Rory Mcilroy said in November that he believed that Trump becomes president for the second time could help “clear the way” for an agreement between the PGA and LIV.

Trump changed the course of the history of female sports by signing the “There are no men in female sports” Executive order in the East Room of the White House in front of female athletes in national girls and women on Sports Day on Wednesday.
The NCAA quickly capitulated to Trump’s order, announcing on Thursday afternoon a new participation policy for transgender athletes.
“An athlete student assigned to a man at birth may not compete in a team of women,” says the new policy.
It was also reported this week that Trump will become the first president in history to attend a Super Bowl.
The news caused the emotion of the protagonists of Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
“It’s always great to be able to play in front of a acting president,” said Mohamses. “Someone who is in the upper position in our country.”
Kelce called him an “honor.”
“I think, 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, it is the best country in the world. So., That would be great “Kelce said.

Gracie Hunt, the daughter of the Chiefs team owner, Clark Hunt, spoke with Riley Gaines in Outkick’s “Gaines for girls” Podcast and reacted to Trump’s comments.
“It’s great. It’s quite impressive,” he told Gaines. “Sometimes, I just look at anyone talking, and I say: ‘Yes, I wasn’t on my bingo card 2025’. But, Wow, that’s absolutely incredible.”
