He\u2019s got Elon Musk, who I think is the smartest man in the world, beside him. We might be able to do something if we can get Musk involved, too. I think from the outside looking in, it\u2019s probably a little less complicated than it actually is. Trump has a great relationship with Saudi Arabia. He\u2019s got a great relationship with golf. He\u2019s a lover of golf. So, maybe. Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>Since 2022, five of LIV golf\u2019s tournaments have been held at Trump\u2019s courses. US Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau was part of the 47th President of the USA\u2019s victory speech, wearing a \u2018Make America Great Again\u2019 hat. Last weekend the Sun reported that a $1 billion unification deal has been agreed between Saudi Arabia and the PGA Tour where PIF (Saudi Public Investment Fund) gets an 11% stake and the chairman Yasir Al Rumayyan would take over the chairman role on the Tour as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '444470064056909');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/sports\/golf\/donald-trump-elon-musk-unite-liv-golf-pga-rory-mcilroy-9656927\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottish golfer Rory McIlroy on Wednesday said that Donald Trump\u2019s victory and return to the White House could mean the end of the dispute between the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, while also saying that Elon Musk could be pivotal in any talks regarding the future of golf.
