While such an event could be highly promising and enthralling to watch, the chances of a LIV Golf vs PGA Tour game look slim. If not for the cases in court, the two boards have taken bold stances against each other as well.

Immediately after Mickelson’s departure to the rebel league, the PGA Tour announced the rebuking of PGA membership cards of players who made the switch. Several top pros turned their loyalties, which resulted in wide speculations and made the situation messy.

While the two leagues now co-exist, the animosity has grown ever closer. The participation of players at major championships will be seen as the way ahead in golf, which is expected to allow LIV players to take part.
