Two men from very different backgrounds came together to shock the sports world. Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan orchestrated a billion-dollar agreement to merge the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and DP World Tour. ByMarkPuleo on their relationship:

. “They’re amazing people, but regular people. His dad was a defense lawyer in the city and his mom was the most kind, loving, compassionate person you’d ever meet.”

In 2017, following the retirement of Tim Finchem, Monahan became the fourth-ever commissioner of the PGA Tour. It was there where Al-Rumayyan connected with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, a man who is now considered one of the most powerful and controversial rulers in the world. About a year after PIF funded the birth of LIV Golf, the fund acquired Premier League club Newcastle United for $415 million. Al-Rumayyan was elected as chairman.
