Are LIV Golf players finally getting recognition? For a long time, the Saudi-based promotion struggled to get its players validated by the OWGR. It always seemed like things were a step too far away. However, things took a positive turn when the reports of the PIF-PGA Tour merger broke out. However, even the conversation about the merger has been dragging along for a couple of years now.

First, the PGA Tour announced that Jay Monahan and Adam Scott had approached the 47th POTUS, Donald Trump, to seek his guidance in the completion of the deal. Now, fresh reports emerged stating that another authoritative body has OPENed its gates to Bryson DeChambeau and Co.
