In a stunning “about face” that shocked the sports world, on June 6, 2023, the PGA Tour announced that it would team up with its bitter rival, LIV Golf, and enter into a business combination to settle the rancorous disputes between the competing tours that have fractured the golf world along economic, and even political lines.

The details regarding this business combination have not been released publicly; however, it is known that this partnership will also include the DP World Tour (i.e., the European golf tour). It seems more than likely that the consummation of this transaction will result in the creation of a new golf super league, which has sparked both outrage among observers and even government scrutiny.
