Liverpool Owners Could Spark Golf Battle Between PGA Tour and LIV Golf

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have reportedly made a ‘monster bid’ to the PGA Tour which could reignite golf’s civil war. The PGA Tour appeared to end months of feuding with LIV Golf by striking a stunning framework agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund [PIF] in June. However, the agreement is not binding, and little progress has been made towards a final deal. Now, according to the Fire Pit Collective, the framework agreement is ‘falling apart’ and the PGA Tour has been presented with an escape route by Fenway Sports Group [FSG]. FSG already has a stake in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL, an indoor golf league which will launch in January 2024. It also owns the MLB’s Boston Red Sox, NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins, and Premier League giants Liverpool. Should the PGA Tour choose a partnership with FSG over the PIF, it would end any hope of a truce with the Saudis and LIV Golf.
