Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott are joining Tiger Woods on the subcommittee directly involved in negotiating with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf, an addition to what the PGA Tour previously disclosed even though McIlroy says he's been involved in discussions. McIlroy said Thursday at the Wells Fargo Championship that while he is not on the PGA Tour Enterprises board, “I'm in some way involved in that transaction committee.” McIlroy resigned in November, and the other player directors voted to replace him with Jordan Spieth.
McIlroy has been named to the “transaction subcommittee,” which was formed to handle the day-to-day negotiations as PIF seeks to become a minority investor in the Tour.
It's the third time Reiter, the former Palm Desert High School star, has made it through local qualifying at Bermuda Dunes.
Rory McIlroy revealed details on Thursday about a new PGA Tour subcommittee created to conduct direct talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) about finalizing a merger deal.Others on the subcommittee would include PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Fenway Sports Group boss John Henry, who led an investment group of US sports team owners that created a $1.5 billion for-profit entity PGA Tour Enterprises.
