There’s a future for LIV Golf, but it hinges on PGA Tour agreement
LIV, whether golf fans like it or not, is here to stay. The breakaway league has shown over the past two years that it can garner interest; Adelaide and JCB are perfect examples of sell-out events.

Sadly, the lack of OWGR points and the ineligibility of LIV players on DP World Tour and PGA Tour events are damaging the breakaway tour and the game. , but since then, the trail has gone quiet.
For the traditional golf fan, accepting LIV as part of the global game seems inevitable. The sooner an agreement is reached, the sooner critics can come to terms with breakaway tour players potentially being allowed back in co-sanctioned events.
