PGA Tour to Receive Investment from Strategic Sports Group

Investment, led by Fenway Sports Group, will cover only domestic rights and is separate from ongoing merger talks.

  • The PGA Tour is set to receive investment from the Strategic Sports Group, led by Fenway Sports Group, as early as next week.
  • The investment will be less than the previously reported $3 billion and will cover only the tour's domestic rights.
  • The Strategic Sports Group was chosen in December to negotiate for private equity investment, after reviewing proposals from many investors.
  • The investment deal is separate from ongoing merger talks between the PGA Tour, the main European tour, and Saudi-backed LIV Golf.
  • If the broader merger happens, the PGA Tour will remain in control of the for-profit entity, PGA Tour Enterprises, with the Strategic Sports Group as a minority owner.
