'''LIV Golf''' ({{IPAc-en|l|ɪ|v}} {{respelling|LIV}}) is a professional men's golf tour.

===Proposed merger of commercial rights of LIV, PGA and European Tours===
On 6 June 2023, LIV Golf, the PGA Tour, and PGA European Tour announced that the three organizations would pool their commercial rights into a new for-profit venture, which would be funded by the Public Investment Fund. The announcement stated that the merger is intended to "unify the game of golf on a global basis" and "ensure that all stakeholders benefit from a model that delivers maximum excitement and competition among the game's best players." Current PGA Tour commissioner [[Jay Monahan]] will serve as CEO of the new entity, with [[Yasir Al-Rumayyan]] as chairman, and the PGA Tour appointing the majority of its board. All three tours will maintain administrative oversight and sanctioning of their events. This agreement ends all existing litigation, and there are plans for a "fair and objective process for any players who desire to re-apply for membership".<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PIF announce newly formed commercial entity to unify golf |url=https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2023/06/06/pga-tour-dp-world-tour-and-pif-announce-newly-formed--commercial-entity-to-unify-golf |access-date=2023-06-06 |publisher=PGA Tour |archive-date=6 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606140915/https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2023/06/06/pga-tour-dp-world-tour-and-pif-announce-newly-formed--commercial-entity-to-unify-golf |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Blinder |first=Alan |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour and LIV Golf to Merge |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/06/sports/golf/pga-liv-merger.html |access-date=June 6, 2023 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rizzo |first=Lillian |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf |work=CNBC |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/06/pga-tour-agrees-to-merge-with-saudi-backed-rival-liv-golf.html |accessdate=2023-06-06 |archive-date=6 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240206224202/https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/06/pga-tour-agrees-to-merge-with-saudi-backed-rival-liv-golf.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news |last=Kirshner |first=Alex |date=2023-06-06 |title=The PGA Tour's Grim, Blockbuster Merger |work=Slate |url=https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |access-date=2023-06-07 |issn=1091-2339 |archive-date=6 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240206224336/https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |url-status=live}}</ref> The agreement was controversial among some PGA Tour players.<ref name=":22">{{Cite news |last=Kirshner |first=Alex |date=2023-06-06 |title=The PGA Tour's Grim, Blockbuster Merger |url=https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |access-date=2023-06-07 |work=Slate |issn=1091-2339}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=PGA Tour players feel 'betrayed' by news of LIV Golf merger |url=https://theathletic.com/4585714/2023/06/06/pga-tour-liv-golf-merger-player-reactions/ |access-date=2023-06-07 |website=The Athletic}}</ref>

'''LIV Golf''' ({{IPAc-en|l|ɪ|v}} {{respelling|LIV}}) is a professional men's golf tour. The name "LIV" refers to the [[Roman numeral]]s for 54, the number of holes played at LIV events.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Harig |first=Bob |date=2022-05-31 |title=FAQ of the LIV Golf Invitational Series: Field Taking Shape for First Event |url=https://www.si.com/golf/news/faq-liv-golf-invitational-series |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |accessdate=2022-06-06 |archive-date=14 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220614172005/https://www.si.com/golf/news/faq-liv-golf-invitational-series |url-status=live}}</ref> The first '''LIV Golf Invitational Series''' event started on 9 June 2022, at the [[Centurion Club]] near St Albans in Hertfordshire, UK. The Invitational Series became the '''LIV Golf League''' in 2023.
LIV Golf is financed by the [[Public Investment Fund]], the [[sovereign wealth fund]] of Saudi Arabia. Some journalists and commentators have said the tour is part of efforts by the [[Saudi monarchy]], which has been criticized for its [[Politics of Saudi Arabia#Corruption|corruption]] and [[Human rights in Saudi Arabia|human rights abuses]], to [[sportswashing|improve its public image through sports]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schad |first=Tom |title=LIV Golf shines spotlight on 'sportswashing' – the nascent term for an age-old strategy |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2022/06/10/sportswashing-explained-saudis-liv-golf/10003676002/ |access-date=2022-10-14 |website=USA Today |archive-date=14 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221014185242/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2022/06/10/sportswashing-explained-saudis-liv-golf/10003676002/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Friedman |first=Thomas L. |author-link=Thomas Friedman |date=2022-06-14 |title=Opinion {{!}} Saudi Arabia Should Take a Mulligan on Golf.

===Proposed merger of commercial rights of LIV, PGA and European Tours===
On 6 June 2023, LIV Golf, the PGA Tour, and PGA European Tour announced that the three organizations would pool their commercial rights into a new for-profit venture, which would be funded by the Public Investment Fund. The announcement stated that the merger is intended to "unify the game of golf on a global basis" and "ensure that all stakeholders benefit from a model that delivers maximum excitement and competition among the game's best players." Current PGA Tour commissioner [[Jay Monahan]] will serve as CEO of the new entity, with [[Yasir Al-Rumayyan]] as chairman, and the PGA Tour appointing the majority of its board. All three tours will maintain administrative oversight and sanctioning of their events. This agreement ends all existing litigation, and there are plans for a "fair and objective process for any players who desire to re-apply for membership".<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PIF announce newly formed commercial entity to unify golf |url=https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2023/06/06/pga-tour-dp-world-tour-and-pif-announce-newly-formed--commercial-entity-to-unify-golf |access-date=2023-06-06 |publisher=PGA Tour |archive-date=6 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606140915/https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2023/06/06/pga-tour-dp-world-tour-and-pif-announce-newly-formed--commercial-entity-to-unify-golf |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Blinder |first=Alan |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour and LIV Golf to Merge |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/06/sports/golf/pga-liv-merger.html |access-date=June 6, 2023 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rizzo |first=Lillian |date=June 6, 2023 |title=PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf |work=CNBC |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/06/pga-tour-agrees-to-merge-with-saudi-backed-rival-liv-golf.html |accessdate=2023-06-06 |archive-date=6 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240206224202/https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/06/pga-tour-agrees-to-merge-with-saudi-backed-rival-liv-golf.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news |last=Kirshner |first=Alex |date=2023-06-06 |title=The PGA Tour's Grim, Blockbuster Merger |work=Slate |url=https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |access-date=2023-06-07 |issn=1091-2339 |archive-date=6 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240206224336/https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |url-status=live}}</ref> The agreement was controversial among some PGA Tour players.<ref name=":22">{{Cite news |last=Kirshner |first=Alex |date=2023-06-06 |title=The PGA Tour's Grim, Blockbuster Merger |url=https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/pga-tour-liv-dp-golf-merger-saudi-arabia-pif.html |access-date=2023-06-07 |work=Slate |issn=1091-2339}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=PGA Tour players feel 'betrayed' by news of LIV Golf merger |url=https://theathletic.com/4585714/2023/06/06/pga-tour-liv-golf-merger-player-reactions/ |access-date=2023-06-07 |website=The Athletic}}</ref>
