$10M worth LIV golfer positive about Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s meeting amid PGA-LIV negotiations

LIV golfer Anthony Kim is quite positive about Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s meeting at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship amid PGA-LIV negotiations. He added that the amicable meeting between the two was a great sign for the game.

Anthony Kim is a former PGA Tour winner who now plays for the LIV Golf League. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the golfer has a net worth of over $10 million.

On Thursday, September 3, Kim responded to photographs of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf chiefs during the opening round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. For the uninitiated, the two were paired together on Day 1 at Carnoustie.

"Never have met Jay and don’t know the details but I guess some of the statements made prior about @PGATOUR players leaving for @livgolf_league isn’t how he feels any longer🤷‍♂️," Kim wrote on X. "Great for the game of golf tho! So does this mean ramble shamlee is done?😂😂😂 #girldad #Trump2024"

Earlier on Wednesday, October 2, Billy Horschel revealed that he had asked Monahan to team up with him at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. In the following months, he confirmed two more times, and the PGA Tour chief agreed to be on his team at the unique competition.

As for LIV Golf chief Yasir Al Rumayyan, he got to know about his participation last month.

"I do believe that there's been both goodwill on both sides to try to make a deal happen over the last 18 months, year, since the agreement," he said. "It may not move as quickly as people want. There's a lot of complicated things to figure out and there's a lot of things behind the scenes that the public just don't understand; that they can't comment on."

The current status of the PGA Tour-LIV Golf deal explored

As of now, the deal between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is still under negotiation. Both parties met in New York last month and were reportedly closer to reaching an agreement.

However, PGA Tour golfers have set a condition that Saudi-backed circuit professionals would need to return the contract amount they received from LIV. Other options discussed included paying fines, donating to charity, or forfeiting future career winnings.

Reports suggest this could act as a deal breaker, as Jon Rahm and other golfers weren't in agreement. For the uninitiated, the deadline for the framework agreement has been extended twice since the deal was announced in June last year. The original deadline was set for December 31, but it was pushed to April this year and has been extended further.
