Rory McIlroy has downplayed reports he threatened to leave the PGA Tour if it reached a peace deal with the LIV Golf series. He did confirm, however, that he had a “very direct conversation” with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan. On the other hand, the abducted LIV series commissioner Norman’s stance, notwithstanding the setup of Norman’s circuit in Saudi Arabia, is that all he wants is a mediator to allow peace to reign. Tiger Woods has made it clear where he stands on the subject by telling the patrons what they wanted to hear: “I think that what they’re trying to do is they’re trying to divide us, and that’s the PGA Tour, the only true global golf tour out here.” All these conflicting interests point towards a PGA Tour-LIV deal being far from imminent.

**Lakers’ Reaves Fails to Qualify for Golf Event**
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves fell short of qualifying for the American Century Championship golf tournament despite an impressive effort on Tuesday. Reaves carded a 75 in the qualifier at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, missing the cut by three strokes.
The event, which features a field of celebrities and professional golfers, required a score of 72 or better to advance. Reaves, who is an avid golfer, played alongside Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and former NBA All-Star Baron Davis.
Despite the setback, Reaves expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and said he would continue to work on his golf game. “I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot,” Reaves said. “I’ll keep practicing and hopefully have a better chance to qualify next year.”
