Former President Donald Trump correctly predicted the merger between the PGA Tour and rival LIV Golf last year.
Tuesday morning, breaking news struck the golf world: The PGA Tour will merge with LIV Golf, a tour backed by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF).
But apparently, the stunning news did not surprise Trump. The former president predicted the merger on Truth Social in July 2022.
“All of those golfers that remain ‘loyal’ to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big ‘thank you’ from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year,” Trump said. “If you don’t take the money now, you will get nothing after the merger takes place.”
Sure enough, it appears LIV Golf players, who received massive signing bonuses, will keep their money and rejoin their PGA Tour colleagues, many of whom decided to forgo the LIV Golf tour because they refused to take so-called “blood money.”
After the news, Trump took a victory lap on Truth Social.
“GREAT NEWS FROM LIV GOLF. A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, AND GLAMOROUS DEAL FOR THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF GOLF. CONGRATS TO ALL!!!,” he said. “Isn’t that what you want for President, somebody that can predict the future? This seems to be the hot story, but it was my great honor to help. A merger like no other!”
According to CNBC, the two entities will combine into one commercial business with a yet-to-be-named company, concluding the contentious battle. The PGA Tour worked hard over the years to demonize LIV Golf as the Saudi-backed “blood money” tour. Now the PGA Tour players who spoke against the source of LIV Golf’s funding will tie themselves to the same source.

Now, watch this drive.
Gee. Now if only he could have accurately predicted (and prevented) the Great Steal of 2020 - then we could all have been truly impressed.
He predicted it when no one else thought it was even possible.
We must have hearings! He was in on it. Investigate Trump! /s
Good point. This is interesting, but not very important in the grand scheme of things.
The caddie supposedly ended up looking way left. Russian hooker into the bush.
Trump was right again.
So did I. I’m not running for president.
You Desimps and RINOs are so frustrated you have to turn every topic into an attack on Trump. You wonder why we fight back. The easiest thing in the world is to sit on the sidelines and critique. Why don’t you go out and do something to help the situation like getting involved in your local elections? Be the person to do it. But that’s too hard. It’s much easier for you to sit at home in your your underwear in your basement wildly shooting spitballs day in and day at Trump and all the rest of the patriots.
Did you predict it??
He did predict it you idiot
How come you guys get attack conservatives, but don’t believe in any accountability?
So Trump did nothing to stop the Saudi takeover of the country? It won’t stop here.
To me Golf is only slightly less detestable than soccer.
I find women’s golf more watchable than men’s golf. I think it has something to do with the skirts and how their butts look when making a shot.
I find women’s soccer to be more unwatchable than men’s soccer. I think it has something to do with not liking crazy screaming lesbians.

This is how you fight back? By posting a lame ass story on how Trump was right concerning some golf business?
Excuse me while I remain underwhelmed.
“but not very important “
Cultural events can have more import than is apparent to the observer sometimes...
Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF).
PGA
Donald Trump
Just the list of participants lends it self to a possible under current of “other” ties.
I have to say ... it takes a lot of BALLS to do this.
( I tried not to do it ... but I’m weak)
I wouldn’t say that. Sports reporters old enough to remember multiple upstart leagues, but not curmudgeonly enough to believe only the PGA could be right, were predicting early on that the LIV could work and would either supplant the PGA or force a merger.
