Why this Ryder Cup star wants to ‘accelerate’ PGA Tour-PIF deal
European Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter has called for the PGA Tour to “accelerate the process” of its proposed deal with the Saudi-backed PIF (Public Investment Fund). Poulter, a vocal supporter of the proposed deal, believes it would bring significant benefits to the PGA Tour and its players. The deal, which is reportedly worth around $200 million per year, would see PIF become a major sponsor of the PGA Tour. Poulter believes the deal would “elevate the game of golf to new heights” and would “create opportunities for players and fans alike.” He also called on the PGA Tour to “embrace change” and to “not be afraid to think outside the box.”
