Tiger Woods was granted an audience with the President at the White House to try and call a truce alongside PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, PGA board member Adam Scott and representatives from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
But the PGA Tour said that after a meeting with Mr Trump, it was closer to reaching a deal with the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi backers of LIV Golf.
The row has escalated in recent years after Saudi-backed LIV Golf has siphoned off several top PGA Tour golfers, leading to suspensions, lawsuits and harsh words among some of golf's top players.
A working session was held at the White House to try and end a long-standing rift between the PGA and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund-backed LIV Golf.
Woods and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan have since released a statement saying they are "committed to the reunification of golf".
