From First Up, 5:47 am on 8 June 2023

The Saudi government's Public Investment Fund, also known as the PIF (PIFF), will now be putting up billions of dollars to form a commercial entity they say will unify the sport. Players who had left to play on the Saudi run LIV Golf Tour were, until this announcement, banned from the PGA Tour. And as Leonard Powell reports, blindsided players aren't ruling out legal action.
