Tiger Woods is one of a number of representatives from the PGA Tour who will meet members of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) on Tuesday over a peace deal with LIV Golf.
The PGA Tour have been in ongoing talks with PIF since Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi chief Yasir Al-Rumayyan announced a shock framework agreement last June. Over one year on though, a deal is yet to be signed off, with frustrations growing between fans and players alike.
Talks remain ongoing though, with ESPN reporting that the likes of Woods and Monahan are in New York with their Saudi counterparts in a bid to move along proceedings.
Public updates on proceedings have been sparse in recent months, but Monahan did give an insight into where negotiations were up to at the recent Tour Championship at East Lake. “You look at where we are right now, we’re in regular dialogue, we have the right people at the table with the right mindset,” he said.
“I see that in all these conversations on both sides, that creates optimism about the future and our ability to come together. “At the same time, these conversations are complex, they’re going to take time.
“They have taken time and they will continue to take time. When I sit here today, I think the most important thing is our obligation to fans, players and partners is to focus on what we control, which we’re doing as I outlined and continue to carry this momentum forward.”
