It’s believed PGA Tour players were unaware of the merger with LIV Golf until it was announced this afternoon.
The merger brings to an end two years of public rancour between the two sides of the golf war.
Along with the DP World Tour, they will join forces to form the one commercial entity.
The PGA Tour will hold a majority on the new body’s board, but investment will come exclusively from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
