PGA Tour vs LIV GOLF with four top players

Who knows if one day the PGA and LIV Golf will reach an agreement for the good of world golf. While waiting for a truce (or for the one signed in June 2023 to come into force), in December we will witness a PGA Tour against LIV Golf on a golf course.

Pga Tour, event

The golf affair is therefore transformed into a television show. The event will take place in mid-December in Las Vegas and will be broadcast by TNT Sports. The Golfweek indiscretion was confirmed by those directly involved.

Scottie Scheffler, world number one and Tiger Woods' designated heir, and Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy will face Americans Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau on the green.

The first two are champions of the PGA Tour: Scheffler seems to have refused indecent economic proposals from Greg Norman (CEO of LIV Golf Tour). Rory has always put his face on the line in defending the US circuit, making it known that he has no intention of moving to Arabia. The move was a success for Koepka and DeChambeau, among the very first to jump the hurdle and play for the circuit financed by the PIF, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.

The PGA Tour is an organization that manages the major professional golf tours in the United States. It is headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, a suburb of Jacksonville, Florida. Its official name is written in all capital letters, which is "PGA TOUR".

The PGA Tour became a separate organization in 1968, when it separated from the PGA of America, which is now primarily an association of golf professionals, such as instructors and club managers. The tournament players first formed their own organization, the Association of Professional Golfers (APG). Later, in 1968, the players abolished the APG and agreed to operate as the PGA "Tournament Players Division", a completely autonomous division of the PGA, under the supervision of a new 10-member Tournament Policy Board. The name was then officially changed to the "PGA Tour" in 1975.

In 1981, it had a dispute over marketing problems with the PGA of America and decided to officially change its name. As of late August of that year it became the "TPA Tour", which stands for "Tournament Players Association". The dispute was resolved within seven months and the tour's name reverted to the "PGA Tour" in March 1982.
