The directors of the PGA Tour including Tiger Woods are urged to meet with Saudi investors to resolve golf civil war. Despite PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan claims of progress key players remain skeptical. Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott among others are reluctant towards Saudi investment.

The players have been encouraged to attend a meeting with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) to discuss the proposed merger. Meanwhile, there are disagreements among PGA Tour players regarding the role of LIV with Rory McIlroy advocating for LIV players to compete without penalty.

The golfing scene at the Players Championship remains intense with Tommy Fleetwood and Aaron Rai making notable performances. McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick also show promising progress in their rounds.
