Also on the table was the firing of two-time Open champion Greg Norman as LIV boss.
US AND SAUDI officials discussed proposals to completely transform professional golf as they negotiated the biggest merger in the sport’s history, a trove of documents released on Tuesday showed.
The communications, released by the US Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations at the start of a hearing into the controversial tie-up, gave the most detailed picture yet of how the deal might look. But Senator Richard Blumenthal, the panel’s chairman, shared a summary of the discussions alongside 265 pages of emails, WhatsApp messages and memos submitted by the PGA Tour and LIV Golf ahead of the hearing.
“There is something that stinks about this path that you’re on right now because it is a surrender. And it is all about the money and that’s the reason for the backlash,” he said. LIV Golf and the PGA Tour dropped lawsuits against each other that were set for May 2024 trials and could have revealed many financial details about the PIF and tour.
