Why this Ryder Cup star wants to ‘accelerate’ PGA Tour-PIF deal

Negotiations over a final agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, owners of LIV Golf, continued last week with a meeting in New York. And that’s good news for the European Ryder Cup team.

Why? Because several European stars ply their trades on LIV Golf, and those players are currently ineligible to compete in the biennial contest that resumes next fall at Bethpage Black.

Pro golfers Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton react on the 6th during the foursomes on day two of the 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

The most notable among them is two-time major champion and former World No. 1 Jon Rahm, who left the PGA Tour for LIV this season, then won the 2024 LIV individual title last week.
