  This had to happen.  LIV Golf's business model was "too good" as it pertains to the players and throw on top of that the "Team" aspect of the new tour, well, this merger is just a no-brainer.  

  Can't wait to hear what the top PGA Tour players state publicly about this merger.  Must have been a big blow to their "agenda".

  Fun Fact:  Only about 1% of Americans play golf. 

  So we can consider ourselves in an 'elite' group, right?  :-)
