LIV was created in 2022 by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) alongside two of the world's most prominent players, Phil Mickelson and Greg Norman, and others. Norman was appointed CEO, but it was Mickelson who helped LIV come into existence. Mickelson accused the PGA Tour of not fairly compensating players for things like highlight clips a...
The PGA Tour immediately viewed LIV Golf as a direct competitor — and many in the golf world agreed, often referring to it as a “breakaway league.” So the Tour decided to force players to pick a side, creating harsh divisions in the golf world. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan also seemed to disparage the presence of the Saudis in LIV, asking rhet...

The first World Series in 1903, the 1976 NBA-ABA deal and the NHL's 1979 takeover of the upstart WHA, though, all pale in comparison to the geopolitical stage where the PGA Tour-LIV...
As expected, reaction to the stunning deal ran the gamut — from LIV backers' spiking the ball to 9/11 survivors' criticizing the PGA Tour for merging with the Saudi-backed LIV, which they likened to “terrorists,” with others resigned to money's simply ruling the day. Former PresidentDonald Trump typed in allcaps onTruth Social, boasting that he pre...
