An unlikely merger – today the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour announced a partnership with LIV Golf – a rival league run by the Saudi Arabian government.

LIV caused controversy for recruiting some of the best golfers in the world away from the PGA Tour. Many protested LIV because of Saudi Arabia’s sordid history with human rights.LIV caused controversy for recruiting some of the best golfers in the world away from the PGA Tour.

“I never thought this would happen,” PGA Tour golfer, Len Mattiace said. “So, I would say 99% of the players had no idea either.” Mattiace is a professional golfer from Jacksonville, who heard the news while playing a PGA Tour Champions event in Wisconsin. Sports fans are reacting too. One twitter user wrote, “Players like Rory, Rahm, Scheffler, were completely left out to dry. They were patted on the back by PGA for not taking tens of millions in blood money, only for the PGA to turn around and likely take hundreds of millions.”
