Donald Trump assisting PGA Tour in reunification with LIV Tour

According to the Associated Press, American president Donald Trump is assisting in the process in the reunification of the golf world. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has stated that he has made reuniting the tours a significant priority, and recently met with Trump at the White House for assistance in bringing the world’s best golfers together again.

Interestingly, Australian golf star Adam Scott of Adelaide, who won the 2013 Masters, accompanied Monahan at the meeting. Scott is a member of the PGA Tour board. Since being elected as president, Trump has played golf with Monahan and Tiger Woods.

Trump has strong connections to the LIV Tour. The tour has had events at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (won in 2022 by Henrik Stenson of Sweden and in 2023 by Cameron Smith of Brisbane, Australia). Interestingly, both Stenson and Smith have won British Open titles in the past. Stenson won in 2016 and Smith won in 2022. Meanwhile, the LIV has also gone to the Trump National Golf Course at Doral in Miami, Florida the last three years. In 2022 and 2023 it was only a team event, and in 2024, was won by South Africa’s Dean Burmester.

There are 14 LIV Tour events in 2025. There have been two LIV events so far. Adrian Meronk of Poland won at the opening event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 8, and then Joaquin Niemann of Chile won this past weekend in Adelaide. The big story at the Adelaide LIV event was the attendance, as 102,483 people showed up over three days of play.
