PGA Tour and Saudi PIF Hold Controversial NYC Meetings Amid 9/11 Anniversary

Negotiations focus on a $1 billion investment to merge golf circuits, drawing ire from 9/11 families.

PGA Tour officials, including Tiger Woods, are meeting with Saudi Public Investment Fund representatives in New York.
The discussions aim to finalize a deal that would see the PIF invest over $1 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises.
The timing of the meetings, coinciding with the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, has sparked outrage from 9/11 families.
The framework agreement to merge PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and DP World Tour was initially announced in June 2023 but missed its December 2023 deadline.
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has emphasized the enhanced priority and stronger dialogue in the ongoing negotiations.
