Jon Rahm leaving had a lot of talk happening, but looming is the deadline set for the merger to take place. While this has been looming, the PGA Tour is in talks with other equity groups.
“There’s been a lot of talk over the years of certain players going and it was speculation until it happened because there’s been rumors of names going and not going, and whether they materialized or not,” Woods said. “We assumed it was just speculation until it happened.”
“It’s been certainly a topic of conversation,” he said. “We’re trying to get a deal done with all of the different entities that we have going on here. SSG has come into the mix now. But we still have until the 31st.”
SSG is a US Based sports team investors that brings in Arthur Blank (Falcons owner) and John Henry (Red Sox owner) among others.
December 31st is the deadline for the PGA Tour and PIF to reach agreement. Some believe that date is pretty flexible.
“As of right now, that is our time frame and our deadline. That was set forth back in early June, and that hasn’t changed,” Woods said.
Where do you stand with this? Do you believe a deal gets done with PIF or will they find other sources to bring the PGA Tour into the future?
