After a month in power and numerous meetings with the PGA Tour and the officials of the Public Investment Fund in Saudi Arabia, its tone has radically changed.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday, Trump was asked what was going to be more difficult, the PGA Tour-Liv Golf Agreement or a Russian-Ukraine agreement to stop the war in Eastern Europe.
“I think the PGA agreement is much more complicated,” said Trump.

Last week, Trump met the PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, the directors of the players Tiger Woods and Adam Scott and the golf president of Liv Yasir al-Rumayyan At the White House, the games speaking for about 4 hours of reunification and the future of professional male golf.
THE PGA Tour published a statement after the meeting Call him a “constructive work session”, although in the end, it seems that the sides are not closer to an agreement than before meeting. Eamon Lynch from Golfweek reported Thursday’s meeting at the White House did not go as well as the leaders of the tour had hoped.
