Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are at the center of the golf world's attention as they navigate the ongoing battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. McIlroy has reversed his stance on LIV Golf, now advocating for a reconciliation between the two tours. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm is set to lead Legion XIII for LIV Golf's upcoming season. The PGA Tour has finalized a $3 billion deal with Strategic Sports Group, prompting discussions about the future of golf and the potential unification of the tours.

Why does the PGA Tour still need a PIF deal? Jordan Spieth says they don’t. “I think the short answer is we don’t have to, and the long answer is, the positive there is unification … but I’m not sure if or how or when it would get done.” Doesn’t sound like a deal is close. https://t.co/VXVGkAyAD9
Jordan Spieth says, with the SSG investment, he doesn't think the PIF deal is "needed" as it once was, but he thinks the positive would be a unification of golf. Says membership remains quite divided on that unification, though.
