Al-Rumayyan met with the Trumps just days after the PGA turned down $1.5 billion to merge the PGA Tour with LIV Golf.

The PGA Tour has rejected a $1.5 billion reunification offer from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The Guardian was the first to report on the development.
Sources familiar with the matter have told Golf Digest that the tour has asserted it is not interested in a team golf element—a message that was delivered at the White House meeting in February.
Sources familiar with tour thinking have told Golf Digest that the tour has already made a number of concessions in the negotiations and feel the PIF has not met them in the middle. Tour leadership also feels the PIF does not have a true sense of LIV Golf’s struggles in the golf marketplace.
