Trump: LIV Golf players will be back on the PGA Tour
Donald Trump predicts LIV Golf players will return to the PGA Tour after Saudi Arabia's PIF announced it will end funding.
President Donald Trump predicted Thursday that LIV Golf players will eventually return to the PGA Tour, his comments coming hours after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced it will end funding of the breakaway league at the end of the 2026 season. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the sports' best players belong on the same stage. “I want to see Rory (McIlroy) playing Bryson DeChambeau.
I want to see big Jon Rahm playing Scottie Scheffler,” Trump said. “That’s why the Masters was so good, because you saw everybody together. ” With LIV’s future now in serious doubt , Trump predicted that the players who left for LIV Golf will be back on the PGA Tour.
“They’ll all be back on tour, and it’ll be great,” he said. He said fans had clearly made their preference known. “It’s almost like people want to see that, “Trump said of a unified field.
“The tour wants to have the best players. You can’t have the best players if they’re boycotting. ” His comments came on the same day as the PIF confirmed it will end its funding of LIV Golf .
