The PGA Tour, the European Tour and LIV Golf have decided to take a historic step: they are merging to unify the world of golf and promote their services at an international level. The aim is to promote this sport together, leaving behind the tensions <\/strong>that had settled since the arrival of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, which boosted the LIV Golf championship <\/strong>when it started its activity in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was the origin of this dispute?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The LIV Golf is a professional golf championship <\/strong>that was founded in 2022 with the sponsorship of the Public Investment Fund <\/em>of Saudi Arabia. This championship began to rival the PGA Tour of the United States and the European Tour because they offered very high prize money compared <\/strong>to the other tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, tension has reigned between these three championships<\/strong>, as the Saudi championship has managed to attract some of the most prestigious players in the world. The situation did not seem to improve because the PGA Tour and the European Tour <\/strong>started a legal battle against LIV Golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
