As the $3B Merger Suffers a Scary Setback, Latest Discovery Hints Towards PGA Tour’s Tragic Future

Things in the world of golf have gone through a complete 360 change since last year. The PGA Tour-LIV Golf rivalry has finally seen some sort of hope in the form of the highly anticipated merger. However, not everything is going as easily as one would assume for it to go.

Hurdles are on every step of the way for this new meeting of both the major golf leagues. Amid ongoing negotiations, recently, a new wonderment has surfaced among the fans regarding the prestigious Sanderson Farms Championship.

A new revelation comes in the way of the PGA-LIV Golf merger

The three-billion-dollar merger has faced its share of issues in the past. From unforeseen delays to unlimited disagreements, this merger has been through its share of hardships. However, the road filled with hurdles does not end here.

A new unforeseen situation has arisen in the way of this highly debated merger. This time the questions are about the future of the Sanderson Farms Championship.

As the news emerges of a further possible delay in the merger, questions arise about each and every aspect of it. This is owing to the Team format that comes along with the forthcoming partnership with LIV Golf. Therefore, as of now, Jackson, Mississippi doesn’t feel like a strong option for LIV Golf’s future events.

However, as per the recent happenings, a delay is in the charts for this merger led by Jay Monahan and Greg Norman’s specific leagues. As more tensions arise, the target to wrap it up by 31st December seems to become even more unrealistic.
