#3 PGA/DP Tour/LIV/PIF 2024 UPDATE
#8 October 4
It was reported by “W” and Golf Digest that Yasir Al-Rumayyan, LIV Chairman, is
Playing in the Pro-Am at the Alfred Dunhill Championship with R&A chief executive
Martin Slumbers. This could be a start of the new agreement between PIF/LIV &
PGQ/DP which could be a proposal for LIV to be taken over or be a part of a new world tour or replacing DP & LIV with a new world tour.

Excerpts from Alan Shipnuck’s book “LIV and let DIE” is a story about the “war” between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf were released. Justin Thomas was quoted; “I’d like to speak on behalf of Tour players and say we’re sick of Alan Shipnuck doing what he does. Bring positivity and good stories to help grow the game of golf, not try and make money bashing guys, earning zero trust, with a lot of incorrect information. Ridiculous”

2014 LIV will have 14 events with the following venues. 8 outside US, 6 in US.
No Trump courses are on the current schedule. Two events were held at Trump courses in each of the past 2 years including The Team Championship 10/20 to 22, 2023 at Trump National Florida, which I doubt will generate much interest.
| Outside US | USA |
| Mexico at Mayakoba | Las Vegas |
| Spain at Valderrrama | Los Angeles |
| Jeddah | Dallas |
| Adelaide | Oklahoma City |
| Hong Kong | West Virgina at Greenbrier |
| England | Florida |
| Singapore | |
| South Korea |

The OWGR (Overall World Golf Rankings) denied LIV Golf’s application for world ranking points because LIV players are not playing in the format where they can be ranked equitably with the 24 other tours who qualify. In other words the TEAM format which seems to be the basis of their events. The “Tour Championship”, their #1 event is a team event being held at Trump National in Florida. I doubt if there is much interest. I had previously planned to produce a blog on this event but decided the blog for that weekend could include more important information.
