Overview

• Yasir Al‑Rumayyan told an audience at The Economic Club of Washington that he remains hopeful the two circuits can unite, offering no update on the status of talks.
• Discussions have largely gone quiet since the February meeting at the White House that included President Donald Trump and PGA officials, according to prior player‑director accounts.
• A June 2023 framework paused legal battles between the tours, yet a comprehensive unification has remained unresolved for more than two years.
• Earlier this year, the PGA Tour rejected a reported $1.5 billion investment proposal from the Public Investment Fund that would have kept LIV operating and given Al‑Rumayyan a co‑chair role.
• Al‑Rumayyan argues a combined venture would expand golf’s audience beyond active players, citing Formula 1 and tennis as models for commercial growth.
