The PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf agreed to merge commercial operations under common ownership in a surprise development on Tuesday

Padraig Harrington has weighed in on the shock merger of LIV Golf with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, incredibly including a claim that Ireland "thought it was acceptable to lock up unmarried mothers as late as 1996".The shock announcement came after a year of unprecedented disruption in the men’s professional game following the launch of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit.

"Interesting outcome with the precedent set by @livgolf_league and if there’s one global professional body, they’ll have the power to dictate when and where players play around the world,similar to most professional sports. One American player, Wesley Bryan, replied to the PGA Tour tweet confirming the merger by writing: “Love finding out info on Twitter. This is amazing. Y’all should be ashamed and have a lot of questions to answer.

Fellow pro Ben An wrote: “I’m guessing the LIV teams were struggling to get sponsors and PGA Tour couldn’t turn down the money.Six-time Major winner Phil Mickelson, one of the players who joined LIV Golf, described the merger as “awesome news”. Amnesty International expressed concern at what it saw as a further attempt by Saudi Arabia to launder its human rights record through the vehicle of sport.
