Oh, what a missed opportunity. LIV Golf arrived four years ago, and the established Tours railed against it. They took the moral high ground, criticising the source of the money, when we all knew it was about the established tours controlling men's professional golf. Meanwhile, the Saudi's invested in Football, Tennis, Motorsport and Boxing, helping to elevate and change those sports in a positive way. Golf continued to battle, the established tours banned and fined players w

We could look back years from now to say that Tuesday 23 June was the most important date in the history of modern men's professional golf, and the definitive point which spelled the beginning of the end of the DP World Tour and other independent tours around the world.

Wednesday was viewed as being an important day for the future of the PGA TOUR as CEO Brian Rolapp announced the first details of the vision for a new PGA TOUR, and whilst it was far from confirmation of what will eventually transpire it does set in motion a path towards significant changes to men's professional golf. "The PGA TOUR is looking at a schedule from late-January to early-September, with roughly 21 to 26 events on a first track of elevated events which would include

Currently there are many golf tourists in Dubai trapped, unable to leave Dubai because the airspace in the region is closed due to Iran's reaction to the attack by the United States of America and Israel. If Dubai is no longer seen as a save haven there has to be a genuine chance that its golf tourism industry will collapse, and what if the players on the DP World Tour do not feel safe enough to participate in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and DP World Tour Championship?
