The game is on! The PGA Tour and LIV Golf season games might have ended, but the off-season tussle between the two hasn’t had a break. The recent announcement about the PGA Tour turning its back on LIV Golf made the golf world buzz with a chilling silence as questions about LIV Golf’s pro future and PGA Tour’s new backers made it to the headlines.
Now, days after the merger caboodle and LIV’s Australia takeover, another rift has come forth. But this time, it seems that the PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has a special motive behind his moves.

The PGA Tour is upping its game in a battle of who’s better in the world of changing golf. The game has made it past the course into the realm of art and music, and to say the PGA Tour would be any behind, knowing that LIV has already made an entertainment mark, would be an understatement on both sides.
Adam Schupak, a golf writer, in the recent series of swinging events, updated the silo about PGA Tour pulling some cards left and right and aiming at making a mark in the performance scene. LIV Golf’s last year concert event was a massive hit.
With big names like three-time Grammy-winning artist Nelly and a pillar in electronic music Tiësto taking the stage in September, and now, as per Schupak’s claims, Jay Monahan’s PGA Tour is going to bring in bigger names for a similar series of performances next year.
