PGA TOUR Closer to Deal with PIF?
In a statement released last week, the PGA TOUR says they are closer to a deal to unify professional golf after a meeting with President Trump. The TOUR says that Jay Monahan and Adam Scott went to the White House last week to have discussions with the President about the deal. Later in the week, Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee says a round with Trump last year made him realize that Yasir Al-Rumayyan should be viewed as a “partner in the game golf”, a sudden change of direction for Chamblee.
🚨🤝⛳️ #BREAKING NEWS: The PGA TOUR says they are closer to a ‘final deal’ to re-unite men’s professional golf. Their statement thanks President Trump and refers to a February 4th meeting between Jay Monahan & Trump as being the catalyst.
