Liverpool owners could reignite golf civil war between PGA Tour and LIV Golf

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have reportedly made a 'monster bid' to the PGA Tour which could reignite golf's civil war.

The PGA Tour appeared to end months of feuding with LIV Golf by striking a stunning framework agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund [PIF] in June.

All legal proceedings were dropped and a new, for-profit company called 'PGA Tour Enterprises' was to be created with the PIF, which bankrolls LIV Golf, as a minority investor.

However, the agreement is not binding, and little progress has been made towards a final deal ahead of the looming December 31 deadline.

The PGA Tour sent a memo to players in October saying it was listening to other investment opportunities while finalising its deal with the PIF.

Now, according to the Fire Pit Collective, the framework agreement is 'falling apart' and the PGA Tour has been presented with an escape route by Fenway Sports Group [FSG].

The PGA Tour recently rejected an investment offer from Endeavor, who own WWE and UFC, but a bid from FSG could prove harder to turn down.

It is claimed the mega-rich American sports investment company has made an offer which usurps the PIF's.

FSG already has a stake in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL, an indoor golf league which will launch in January 2024.

It also owns the MLB's Boston Red Sox, NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, and Premier League giants Liverpool.

The PGA Tour faced accusations of hypocrisy over its decision to partner with the Saudis, along with questions from the US Senate and an anti-trust investigation from the Department of Justice.

Should the PGA Tour choose a partnership with FSG over the PIF, it would end any hope of a truce with the Saudis and LIV Golf.

There were even rumours PGA Tour superstar Jon Rahm
