PGA Tour and Saudi PIF Leaders Signal Progress at Dunhill Links

Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan's appearance together at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship suggests advancing negotiations for a PGA Tour-Saudi PIF partnership.

Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan were seen together at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, indicating a thaw in relations between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's backer, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Rory McIlroy, a key figure in negotiations, expressed optimism that a deal between the PGA Tour and PIF could be finalized by the end of the year.
The potential agreement involves a significant investment from PIF into the PGA Tour's new for-profit entity, but specifics of the deal remain under wraps.
Despite the positive public display, there are still unresolved issues, including player concerns over the integration of LIV golfers into PGA events.
The meeting at the Dunhill Links is seen as a step toward reconciliation, though substantial work remains to achieve full unification.
