Here’s the background as you know the PGA and the livv Saudi public investment fund are negotiating they have a December 31st deadline to talk and get this merger deal done and it it’s been really quiet they’re really struggling we had the story this past week that the Fenway Sports Group is now also
Negotiating with PGA about pouring a ton of money in on top of the money livv is to make the PGA successful but here’s the story The Fallout of the guys jumping to the livv livv failed in its attempts to get all of its players into the world golf rankings the world golf
Rankings is part and parcel who gets to play in the Masters at Augusta this year going towards 2024 there are only 77 players available to play at Augusta really because the livv players can’t get Global rankings so they’re out of the mix unless you’re a winner you can’t go to Augusta so so
What does the Master’s field look like when you don’t have Marquee names because all those guys took the money and went across the street to livv so here’s a hidden victim in this merger now maybe this changes once they get it solved but at this point the John Rams
And the Dustin Johnson’s of the world will not have access because they’ve been expelled from the PGA access to global points oh man it’s it’s just a nobody’s given any thought and all of a sudden the story surfaced about what’s happening at Augusta yeah what a mess I
Mean golf is just really becoming a mess and when you can’t have the top players at the top event that event yeah that event especially that’s a huge problem so um yeah I I what’s the solution here Lee do you think livv and PGA can merge
And just kind of go back to a single sanctioning body well based it that’s the plan now based on what I was told I was told that the Fenway group is going to make this proposal to put three billion in the pool and they will Market
All the PGA events in America and on the Pacific Rim that’s what the Fenway Sports Group would do as an investor in the PGA livv is putting three billion in they would Market everything the Europe tour South America Africa Etc so but it it would all be
Under the guidance the PGA would run everything but these people would be the second in command to Market this and maybe maybe there will be a solution to Global rankings in this controversy once we get to the merger and we get it completed but I don’t know maybe we’re
Going to wake up New Year’s Eve and here’s the presentation this is would have been approved maybe that’s going to happen but that’s where we are there wow that’s just a real shame yeah okay we go from that
