PGA Tour 'could have been in financial turmoil' without LIV merger - Padriag Harrington

PADRAIG HARRINGTON HAS said the merger between the PGA Tour and LIV golf is a “huge u-turn” and he believes concerns over the cost of litigation between the parties hastened the deal.

“Everybody was exceptionally surprised,” the Irish golfer said of the deal. He was speaking to Joe Duffy on RTÉ’s Liveline. “It came from nowhere”. “Everybody who’s left behind is exceptionally happy with where they were. So it’s a complete shock to them.“I don’t think the PGA Tour, even though it might end up there’s more money in the game, I don’t think the PGA Tour were seeking that. They were worried about their own sustainability. Because they actually stretched themselves so much trying to compete with LIV.”

Harrington repeated his words from earlier in the week, when saying that sports washing “unfortunately does work”.
