By the look of Twitter nobody knew what was happening except a handful of people.

PGA tour players won't be happy!

Think everyone is caught by surprise. Ryder cup could be proper feisty now if LIV guys are back in.

It will all be forgotten, do you think this has happened without McIlroy, Woods blessing ? They have all been given a kings ransom. Makes some of the high profile critics of it on the PGA Tour look a bit daft now

Perhaps. Strange that nobody had any idea. There wasn't even a rumour of talks never mind an agreement. If Wood, McIlroy, Mickelson etc were involved you'd imagine there would have been a leak somewhere?
Maybe not. I'm not sure.

Looks like Saudi (and money) won
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

It's rare for something like this not leaking though - I read McIlroy had softened his stance slightly recently.

DP World Tour are also part of the deal, maybe this will lead to an actual World Tour.

Greg Norman didn't know and by the sounds of it won't be involved any more.

Loads coming out saying they found out on Twitter. Rory looks like a dickhead, defending the PGA only for Brooks and all to pocket hundreds of millions and then merge anyway. I'd be pissed.

You would assume McIlroy and the top ones have been made promises by the Saudis

Sure the big objection was that it was sports washing and nobody wanted the big bad Saudis involved. Is that all forgotten?

Monahan is gonna face a backlash. I can't see him lasting. This is only starting.
