Fake or fact? PGA Tour and PIF are said to have agreed on one billion

There’s no getting around the news, even if it comes from a tabloid: According to a report in the British tabloid ‘The Sun’, the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabian investment fund PIF have reached an agreement in their negotiations. Under the headline ‘Golf’s Civil War OVER’, David Facey writes that the Saudis have allegedly bought a one billion dollar stake in the Tour in return for an eleven per cent share and two board seats, including that of the chairman. The LIV Golf League events would continue to be organised by the PGA Tour. It is also said that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy played a decisive role in the agreement as members of the special negotiating committee. The deal still has to be approved by the Tour members, i.e. the players, but the DP World Tour will also benefit in a special way thanks to the strategic alliance, for example through financial injections for prize money.

Facey does not name any sources, of course. And there are also several other indications that the news is more fake than fact. For example, there is never any mention of PGA Tour Enterprises, but that is exactly what the slow-moving negotiations are all about: The PIF wants to become a minority investor in the new commercial venture, in which the Tour is offloading its silverware (tournament, licence and TV rights etc.) and which is already lavishly funded thanks to the Strategic Sports Group’s total of three billion. The naming of McIlroy and even more so LIV and PIF opponent Woods also seems more like name-dropping to generate clicks. Moreover, there is no mention of PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and PIF boss Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who played the Aramco Team Series Pro-Am together at the LET in Riyadh last week. Last but not least, a question underlines the suspicion of a rather simplistic tabloid piece: where did the Sun, of all publications, get such information? The usual suspects, including the reputable US golf media, have not made a single sound in this regard so far.

PGA Tour: Joel Dahmen Penalized for Carrying Too Many Clubs

In a turn of events at the Shriners Children’s Open on the PGA Tour, Joel Dahmen was hit with a costly penalty during the first round. The American golfer found himself in violation of the rules for carrying too many clubs in his bag, resulting in a four-stroke penalty on Thursday.

The mistake came to light on the fourth tee, when Dahmen realized he had been playing with more than the allowed number of clubs. After spotting the infraction, he promptly called for a rules official to address the issue.

The leaderboard for the Shriners Children’s Open

Joel Dahmen Penalized for Exceeding Club Limit on the PGA Tour

According to the official rules of golf, a player is allowed a maximum of 14 clubs during a round.

The rule in question, Rule 4.1c(1), specifies:

If a player discovers they are in breach of this rule by carrying more than 14 clubs, they must remove the excess club(s) from play before making their next stroke.

  • If the player started the round with more than 14 clubs, they may choose which club(s) to declare out of play.
  • If the extra club(s) were added during the round, they must be declared out of play immediately.

The penalty for this violation is two strokes for each hole where the breach occurred, with a maximum of four penalty strokes applied for the round (two strokes added to each of the first two holes where the breach was discovered).

As a result, the pars Dahmen made on holes 1 and 2 were adjusted to double bogeys. He promptly removed a 4-iron from his bag to comply with the rule.

PGA TOUR Communications confirmed the penalty on social media, noting the severity of the infraction for the seasoned player.

The timing of the penalty couldn’t be worse for Dahmen, who is currently ranked 124th in the FedExCup standings. With his Tour card for next season on the line, he must finish within the top 125 to retain his status. So far, his FedExCup Fall campaign has been underwhelming, with finishes of T50, a missed cut, and T40 last week. After the penalty-laden first round, Dahmen posted a five-over 76, placing him in a tie for 131st.
