What a shame - PGA/LIV merging

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/06/06/pga-tour-agrees-to-merge-with-saudi-backed-rival-liv-golf.html

‘The PGA Tour has agreed to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf in a deal that would see the competitors squash pending litigation and move forward as a larger golf enterprise.

The two entities signed an agreement that would combine the PGA Tour's and LIV Golf's commercial businesses and rights into a new, yet-to-be-named for-profit company. The agreement includes DP World Tour, also known as the PGA European Tour.’

I usually only watched the PGA in recent years when there a major, goodbye PGA.

And young people aren’t into watching golf on Tv like their parents or even play it.

where the top tour players come from btw. I'd bet that that percentage is the same now as always. Golf is hard and can bet expensive.
Affordable muni courses of course is where those whose parents aren't members of country clubs play, and those courses are always full of players of all ages...young and old.
