Trump predicted the biggest golf merger

Before the announcement of the LIV Golf, PGA Tour, and DP World Tour merger, Donald Trump predicted it long before. In one of the posts on the Truth Social, Trump addressed the PGA Tour players and said, “All of those golfers that remain ‘loyal’ to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big ‘thank you’ from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year.”
