We then shift to the off the course drama from earlier in the week as more details emerge about the proposed framework agreement between the Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour. We theorize LIV's potential future, the communication - or lack thereof - from the PGA Tour to its members, the lack of initial details about the new structure, and what happens next if the deal does (or doesn't) go through.
