Reports emerged earlier this week that one of the obstacles in the negotiations between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund involves the idea of LIV Golf members—specifically, Jon Rahm and his supposed $300 million signing bonus—returning the money received from their LIV contracts.

Years from now, when we look back on the 2024 golf season, we’ll probably point to Bryson DeChambeau’s 72nd-hole victory over Rory McIlroy in the U.S. Open as the year’s decisive moment. Maybe we’ll look to Scottie Scheffler’s tearful gratitude atop the podium at the Olympics as the year’s most emotional victory.

Rory McIlroy said the main sticking points holding up a deal between the PGA Tour and Saudi backers of the rival LIV Golf circuit are the U.S. Department of Justice and conflicting views from players on both sides.
