PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- An important step toward a potential peace accord in men's professional golf might take place Monday when Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, is scheduled to meet player directors of the PGA Tour's policy board, including Tiger Woods.
While the initial meeting might be nothing more than a meet and greet -- or a chance "to put a face to a name" as player director Adam Scott puts it -- it might be another step toward reuniting the fractured sport, which has been embroiled in controversy since the PIF helped launch the rival LIV Golf League in June 2022.
