LIV & PGA Merger Day!

 

Note: Due to the AJGA … No Quota Game on Tuesday June 20th.  We have a 1:30 start on Thursday June 22nd.

Conditions:  On Tuesday, eleven old timers participated: 84-89 degrees, 4-8 mph winds, 27% humidity, very firm fairways and slightly furry greens.

LIV/PGA:  PGA Tour and LIV announced on Tuesday the creation of a new entity that would combine their assets, as well as those of the DP World Tour, and radically change golf’s governance. The PGA Tour would remain a nonprofit organization and would retain full control over how its tournaments are played. But all of the PGA Tour’s commercial business and rights, such as the extremely lucrative rights to televise its tournaments would be owned by a new, yet unnamed, for-profit entity that is currently called “NewCo.” NewCo will also own LIV as well as the commercial and business rights of the DP World Tour. This merger is not final and has to be approved by the PGA Tour’s policy board, which includes some people who were left out of the secret negotiations. The board of directors for the new for-profit entity would be led by Yasir al-Rumayyan, who is the governor of the Public Investment Fund and also oversees LIV. Still a lot of unanswered questions and pissed PGA players!
