The world of golf is becoming more and more interesting and unpredictable. The arrival of LIV Golf, while causing frustration and anger among golf fans, appears to be beneficial for the PGA Tour and the golfers who compete there.
The leaders of the PGA Tour knew that they had to adapt to the new situation and thus change many things and the foundations of this prestigious tour.
One of the first steps was certainly an increase in financial prizes at tournaments, and there is already talk of changes in the schedule.
LIV Golf has not progressed as much as the leaders of the controversial league expected, but Greg Norman, the former CEO of LIV, believes that this project is good and that the PGA Tour and LIV no longer need to merge.

As a guest on the Beyond23 podcast, Greg Norman pointed out that he enjoys the fact that private capital has entered golf and that golfers have benefited significantly from the arrival of a Saudi investor in this sport.
Greg Norman doesn't think it matters if the PGA and LIV merge, saying he's quite happy with how things turned out.
Framework agreement
Although a framework agreement was signed a few years ago, the situation has not changed significantly. It seems that the leaders of both tours are no longer so open to a merger and that things on the golf scene will not change significantly.
This certainly causes frustration and maybe even additional conflict between these two parties. However, some believe that it can bring benefits for the entire world of golf.
