President Donald Trump meets with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, Adam Scott about PGA Tour-PIF deal

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Adam Scott, a Player Director on the PGA Tour's Policy Board, met with President Donald Trump on Tuesday in the White House, the PGA Tour announced.

Monahan, Scott and Tiger Woods released a joint statement discussing the meeting, as the trio discussed the future of professional golf and asked Trump to get involved for the good of the game and try to get a unification of professional golf closer to the finish line.

“We know golf fans are eagerly anticipating a resolution to negotiations with the Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and long-time support of the game of golf. We asked the President to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country, and for all the countries involved. We are grateful that his leadership has brought us closer to a final deal, paving the way for reunification of men’s professional golf," the joint statement read.

Before winning the election last year, Trump said he could get the deal done in about 15 minutes. His course in Florida, Trump Doral, is hosting a LIV Golf event this April, the week before the Masters, and he has made numerous appearances at LIV Golf pro-am in recent years.

The PGA Tour's talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund are ongoing, but there hasn't been much news of traction toward a resolution recently outside of players saying they're getting close.

Justin Thomas, one of 16 PGA Tour players on the 2025 Player Advisory Council, agreed that the Presidents involvement seems like a good sign.

"Yeah, I think so. I hope so. Yeah, I hope it does," he said.

With Trump involved, perhaps the finish line is in sight.
