Nearly a week has passed since the shocking announcement of some sort of merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, but the astonishment at this hastily arranged union has not diminished. After all, Golf fans spent a year hearing high-minded big talk about how the august American organization would never allow the sports-washing Saudis to impose their presence on the greens, even if they had all the money in the world, and presented a legit existential threat. Now, fans are still buzzing with disbelief after PGA commissioner Jay Monahan—who cajoled players into rejecting lucrative nine-figure offers from the kingdom—suddenly capitulated. The sense of betrayal extends to the lawyers, too: Privately, some attorneys who worked on the litigation between the two organizations say they only found out about this deal seconds before it was announced.
