Donald Trump's involvement in the negotiations between the PIF and the PGA Tour caused positive reactions from the public. The new US president is known as a person who has a love for sports, especially golf, ready to be an important factor in the new future of golf. Conversations between PGA officials and Trump suggest that the darkness will finally end, with light on the golf scene.
Will it really happen? Judging by the words of the PGA commissioner, Jay Monahan, this Tour is well on its way to finally putting an end to negotiations and reaching a final deal with LIV Golf.
When can we expect the end of this story? Monahan stresses that it is difficult to give a precise answer, but admits that they are well on their way to making golf public and players happy.

"I don't think you're ever close until you're finalized," said Monahan, as reported by Golf Monthly.
"I would say this: Everything is moving forward with pace and I think there's a general - when you look at all the parties involved, there's a general enthusiasm for getting this done."
Jay Monahan reveals the key to success
For months, golf fans have criticized him for not paying enough attention to them or the golfers. Monahan drew enormous public anger upon himself the moment he confirmed negotiations between the PGA Tour and LIV.
Golfers were unaware of this, visibly disappointed by such treatment by PGA Tour officials. Since then, a lot has changed, and how could it not, after enormous pressure from the public.
Monahan understood that his fans had to come first.

"Listen, if you think about what the fans want, the fans want reunification. That's what we're focused on. We've operated in a world where there's more than one and the PGA Tour has performed very well."- he concluded.
The PGA commissioner does not want to make hasty decisions or steps that could possibly anger the fans again. Jay wants everyone to benefit in this process. Of course, he said that he is open to fans' criticism and suggestions, and believes that if he listens to the fans, the problems regarding this agreement and the future of this sport will be quickly resolved.
