In June 2023, the golf world was jolted by a sudden announcement of a framework agreement to merge the Professional Golfers Association, LIV Golf, and the DP World Tour. The promise was a unified future for men’s golf, but more than two years later, the reality is unresolved. According to Golf Monthly, that initial merger announcement was rushed and vague, and since then, progress has stalled amidst legal complexities, power struggles, and stubborn differences in vision. The Professional Golfers Association has since transformed itself by introducing signature events, new funding, and a shift to a for-profit model, yet the fundamental rift remains: world-class talent is scattered, and many fans feel the product is less compelling than before LIV’s arrival.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil, speaking on The Rick Shiels Golf Show, now emphasizes that a merger is not just about a business structure but about creating opportunities for the world’s best players to compete together more often. Despite public optimism from O’Neil and the newly installed Professional Golfers Association Enterprises CEO Brian Rolapp, the merger remains in limbo. Issues such as LIV’s insistence on maintaining its team format and control over governance persist. According to Front Office Sports, both tours are preparing for separate 2026 seasons, and discussions about a potential $1.5 billion investment from the Saudi fund have stalled for months.
Beyond the men’s game, LIV Golf is setting ambitious plans in motion. O’Neil recently announced, as reported by The Express, that LIV will launch a women’s league within the next two to three years, backed by Saudi investment through Aramco and Golf Saudi. This expansion, along with new tournaments in South Africa and New Orleans, signals LIV’s intent to become a decisive player in global golf, despite limited recognition from ranking authorities.
On the player side, emotions remain raw. Some, like Professional Golfers Association veteran Lucas Glover, have publicly stated they do not want to see LIV golfers return, arguing that the choices made by defectors should have consequences. Meanwhile, the majority of golf fans and insiders still hope for a future where the best compete against each other regularly, not just at the four majors.
