The PGA Tour and LIV have moved a step closer to ending golf's bitter civil war - and it's all down to new president Donald Trump, according to Jay Monahan.
The PGA Tour chief spent time with Trump in a secret White House meeting last week, in which the president mediated a meeting between golf's two superpowers.
Talks between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, who bankroll the LIV circuit, have dragged on for 20 months, with the biggest hurdle presented by the US department of Justice over concerns that a collaboration would be in breach competition laws.
'For him to respond to our request to sit down and talk about how we achieve what he stated publicly as a goal, which is the game of golf operating under one tour with all the top players playing on that one tour, was a great opportunity.
Donald Trump's involvement appears to be edging the PGA Tour and LIV towards an agreement.
