Schauffele leads Players Championship, but progress in Saudi negotiations is slow | PGA Tour

Urgency for PGA Tour Golfers sit around the table My encounter with Yasir Al Rumayan was no coincidence. Many golf industry leaders in attendance at this week’s Players Championship said it could already be 2026 before the sport is unified with a schedule that combines LIV and traditional tours. I’m thinking about it in secret.

Rumayan, president of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, is keen to explain his vision for the future of golf to the PGA Tour’s player directors.They include: Tiger Woods is widely known to be a Saudi skeptic. Until now, and quite unbelievably, there has been no such discussion given the Kingdom’s relentless foray into the sport via the Rebel LIV circuit.

Strategic Sports Group, which has invested $1.5 billion in the new commercial entity, has been at Sawgrass in recent days for detailed discussions with the PGA and DP World Tour.

The ultimate goal includes globalizing golf with further investment from PIF. However, with the 2024 schedule underway and the plans for 2025 progressing naturally, it is unlikely that a major leap forward will be needed to change the professional world in two years’ time. , personally accepted. The 50th edition of The Players Championship will be held without the two current major champions due to its ties to LIV.

PGA Tour Player Director Peter Malnati made clear his belief that swift action is needed. “I think something needs to happen for our sport,” Malnati said.

“I’d like to see a unification match. I’d like to see different tours for men to play on, and I’d like that too, but when you have an event like the Players Championship, it’s important to have all the best players in the world play.” I want to see a unified game that I can be proud of. I call them PGA Tour members. That’s what I want. I don’t know how we’re going to get there, but that’s what I want. is what you want.

“Our commissioner has been saying for months that the next step is to get Yasir to meet with the players on the PGA Tour. He’s been saying that for months. Of course, to make that happen… There have been all kinds of challenges, but it’s essential.

“Essentially players have no role in running the PGA Tour, but this is a membership organization so this is absolutely necessary. We should have had input in that direction. .”

Inside the ropes, Windham Clark started the third day with a four-shot lead and finished one spot ahead of Xander Schauffele. Schauffele’s 65 brought the total to 17 under. Clark’s 70 included perhaps the definitive water discovery in his iconic 17th.

Brian Harman ran rampant through the pack, taking the British champion to 15 under with a 64. “This is my favorite PGA Tour event of the year,” Herman said. “We love coming here. When we show up, they treat us like kings. The golf course is great. I’ve been around here a few times. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.” Matt Fitzpatrick and Maverick McNeely are minus-13.

Rory McIlroy’s race looked like he would be back to level par for the day with a double bogey on the 14th. The Northern Irishman responded brilliantly, making birdies on his final three holes for a total of 69, nine under par. McIlroy remains hopeful of a second Players crown, but the 34-year-old’s decision to head straight to the practice field after the third round underscored his general anxiety over the state of the game.

Ludwig Oberg’s 67 means he tied McIlroy’s 54-hole score. The 24-year-old Swede is emerging as an elite player. Oberg had bogeys at Nos. 1 and 18, but made seven birdies in between.
