PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and PIF’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan, which bankrolls the LIV Golf League, are meeting again this week in person.

Monahan has been in Saudi Arabia this week attending the Future Investment Initiative, an annual conference run by the PIF in Riyadh. Bunkered.co.uk first reported the story, noting his attendance along with other PGA “team members.”

Monahan and Al-Rumayyan played in a foursome at the DP World Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a pro-am event in Scotland, recently, their first public meeting since the televised handshake back announcing a framework agreement in June 2023. Monahan declined to comment on the state of negotiations, which have dragged on since June 2023, which ended the legal battle between the Tour and LIV Golf.

Bunkered also noted that the two leaders will be together at a pro-am outing Thursday night in conjunction with the Ladies European Tour’s Aramco Ladies Team Series Event, and are expected to play together again under floodlights at Riyadh Golf Club. LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman reportedly will be in attendance, too, as the venue is scheduled to host LIV Golf’s Promotions event in December.
