The announcement that rocked world golf has left more questions than answers. This is what it all means 👇

The PGA Tour schedule can change each year, although this season consists of 43 events plus the four majors, which are run independently.Players urging PGA Tour boss to step downIt will obviously be impossible for a player to compete at all 96 of these, but exactly how the relationship will work is yet to be revealed.

"Otherwise he's just underwriting the PGA/Euro tours... which previously rejected offers at partnership. And he now controls the purse strings for the whole sport." The PGA Tour - much like Test cricket - is a space for the sport's traditionalists and rusted-on supporters to enjoy the skill and intricacies of the game. There's no place for podiums or fireworks.The LIV event format also differs to PGA Tour events. Rather than four rounds and a field cut after two, LIV is played over three rounds, with smaller fields and no cuts.

"I've already been in touch this morning with LIV Golf executives, I've been in touch with Greg Norman... what that means for Adelaide is potentially more players of that elite standing coming to play on our shore." On the flipside, Tiger Woods turned down a billion-dollar offer to join his former sparring partner Norman at LIV. His was the biggest, but certainly not the only approach that was knocked back by PGA Tour loyalists."A lot of them took a really principled, moral stand and said 'We're not going to LIV'.
