Report says Tiger Woods is in attendance at White House for PGA Tour, PIF talks

Could a deal be imminent?

Since the news broke nearly two years ago, on June 6, 2023, that the PGA Tour and the PIF reached a “framework agreement” to form a new commercial entity with the goal of unifying golf with the help of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, there has been nothing but a waiting game.

There have been morsels of information along the way but little has leaked. Thursday morning, Golfweek‘s Adam Schupak reported another meeting was set to take place in Washington, D.C., between President Trump, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Golf Channel later reported on a “potential deal” between the Tour and the PIF, which runs LIV Golf. Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis said Tiger Woods and Adam Scott were also reported to be at the meeting.

Woods, a Tour policy board member who is serving on the Transaction Sub-Committee, said on Sunday’s broadcast on CBS of the Genesis Invitational that another meeting to discuss the reunification of PGA Tour and LIV Golf, as well as a potential investment from the Saudis in the PGA Tour, was imminent.
