SYDNEY : The Asian Tour, the only one of the major regional golf bodies to have embraced Saudi-backed LIV Golf before the shock merger with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, has welcomed the deal as"a massive stride forward for the game".
Although not mentioned in the media release that announced Tuesday's merger, the 29-year-old Asian Tour said it was a"great result" for everyone involved in golf. "The Asian Tour looks forward to ... playing our part in helping to build a model and structure for the Tours to work together so that we can all enjoy what will arguably be the most exciting period for professional golf."
