Seth Waugh said the current divide between the Tour and LIV is 'doing damage to the game.' He also shared details on why LIV did not win its bid for World Golf Rankings points.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The head of the PGA of America on Wednesday reiterated his desire to see golf come together with some resolution to the current PGA Tour/Public Investment impasse that continues to dominate discussion.
“I hope there's a deal. I think both sides are not only committed to trying to find a deal but really need a deal, and in my history of deal making, when both sides kind of need something to happen, it generally does. I don't know the timing. I don't have any insider information that you all don't have. But I'm hopeful that there will be a deal over time.
“We're fortunate in that case to be able to look at various tours, all tours, including LIV, world golf rankings, federation rankings, DP World Tour, New Zealand, Korn Ferry Tour, and from those identify what we think are the best players or potentially the best future players and offer them invitations.’’
Last week McIlroy was appointed to a “transaction committee’’ that includes Tiger Woods and Adam Scott and that is to negotiate directly with the PIF. But McIlroy saw Dunne’s departure as a blow to the efforts. “Look, they are going to have great candidates and I know they will get a great replacement for him. Wish him and them luck.’’
