The Slam Podcast: Will the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger fall apart?

Is time running out for the PGA Tour and the PIF to strike a deal? The NCG team address this and more on The Slam Podcast…

 

Oh Erik, what have you done to us?!

On the latest episode of The Slam Podcast – in association with Callaway – Matt Coles and Matt Chivers discuss Erik van Rooyen’s emotional victory at the World Wide Technology Championship.

He pledged his second PGA Tour win to his best friend Jon Trasamar who is suffering from cancer.

The team also discusses Adam Long’s mind-boggling achievement at El Cardonal, as he hits every single fairway at the event in Mexico.

The tour has also announced its members will be allowed to play in the LIV Golf Promotions event without repercussions – the team discusses whether more stars could play.

Will players turn up just to play for the prize money? Will this rule mean the PGA Tour loses more stars?

It has also been widely reported that the PGA Tour is in talks with a number of companies interested in becoming private equity partners of the circuit.

As the tour looks for more sources of investment and with the December 31 deadline for the agreement with the Public Investment Fund approaching, is golf’s biggest deal in jeopardy?

On a more light-hearted note, the team also talks about the DP World Tour’s latest fun feature with Andy Sullivan who broke 80 at the Belfry with just a 5 iron!
