Description
It's a story The 966 has covered in almost every one of its 90 podcasts in one form or another: the PIF-backed LIV Golf tour's founding and rise. So the news breaking today that the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf are combining in a shocking, earth-shattering merger, ending a dispute between the two, is worthy of a special emergency edition of The 966.  Lucien, fresh off the plane and joining from Riyadh, and Richard talk about this seismic event and react to the incredible news of the merger. They react to some tweets rolling out in real time and try to see into the near future at how the world of golf might look.
