The negotiations between PIF and the PGA Tour are still a mystery, and it is not known when the two sides will reach a final agreement. 14 months have passed, a really long period for both fans and athletes, who want the situation to finally calm down.
The meeting between the head of the PGA Tour and the US president, Donald Trump, raises optimism that the sun is in sight.
Scott O'Neil, the new CEO of LIV Golf, shared his opinion regarding the negotiations before the start of LIV Adelaide, stressing that PIF could make interesting investments.
"They (PIF) are likely to make an investment into PGA Tour Enterprises, a new structure that a collection of US investors invested in," O'Neil said, as quoted by France 24.
"For us at LIV, we are hoping that unlocks opportunity."

Scott O'Neil: That may unlock opportunity
The CEO of LIV Golf expects that this will open up many opportunities for this league, which strives to lead the way on the golf scene. O'Neil puts the accent on 'growing the game', which is the slogan used by the leaders of this Tour since the first day of their arrival on the scene.
"That may unlock opportunity with markets, with courses, with marketing partners, with television networks, with growing the game, with competition opportunities, with new formats."
Scott O'Neil is especially excited about The Open's decision to make room for LIV Golfers, those who finish in the top 5 positions at the end of June. This caused general excitement in the league, not only among golfers, but also among the leaders who consider this a positive sign and the beginning of a new era of this league.
