LIV Golf vs. PGA Tour
The controversy between the LIV Golf Series and the PGA Tour is far from over, as the Tour is now retaliating to the new format of the Series. The Saudi backed series caused waves in the golf world in the last few months as quite a few golfers made the shift- leading to sanctions, suspensions and even a lawsuit.
This was an obvious cause for concern for the PGA, who recently had a meeting with the top 20 golfers on the roster. The meeting, led by Tiger Woods, was crucial in discussing the future of professional golf and the Tour as a whole. While details of the meet were kept quite tight by the golfers, some new details have been coming to light recently, and a big change is expected to come.
The latest detail revealed a new format introduced by the Tour- a one that surprisingly follows the LIV Golf style format. The PGA Tour has fought fire with fire, and created their own ‘tour within a tour’ of 60 golfers with an astonishing $20 million of prize money up for grabs.
PGA Tour all set to roll out new ‘format’ in 2024
The concept for this elite tour was flagged by Tiger Woods during the secret meet of the PGA Players. The LIV Series has come out with a format of 48-no-cut players playing 54 golf holes for prize upwards of $25 million. The PGA seems to have followed the Tour to create its own exclusive series.
Woods has taken it upon himself as “self-appointed shadow commissioner” to “reshape the PGA Tour” in an attempt to ensure more players are content with the establishment according to FoxSports. “The best part is the lower-tier guys [on Tour] don’t even know what is coming,” one LIV Golfer said about the upcoming situation.
