  • His initial deal with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund tour was reportedly worth more than $100 million.
  • He praised LIV Golf’s team format and commercial model, noting his Crushers GC squad has been EBITDA positive for two consecutive years.
  • Framework merger discussions between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf backers have made no measurable progress since June 2023.
